When u interview at a smallish agency where growth has stalled and 40% of the senior team has been there 15+ years (or their entire career... intern up) do you take that as a sign of loyalty? Or run?

So I told myself I was gonna enroll in Miami Ad school come January if I didn't break into Strategy first. I did break in, at a creative agency, too (ignore my outdated title). But as an intern. And I'm doing comms instead of brand. Do you think the school is still worth doing? Or can I just be vocal with the comms people about my interest in brand? I said it in the interview. But don't want to seem too pushy/disinterested/entitled millennial etc

My intern has an interview with the client for a full time offer tomorrow...

I’m a risk consulting intern at KPMG Dubai and i’m looking to join as a entry level consultant at OW, Kearney or Strategy&. I’ve applied to the MBBs. Any advice for case interviews?

Hey guys. I have a technical interview with AlixPartners restructuring and turnaround team. This is for their summer intern position. I didn’t come from a restructuring background. Does anyone have an idea of what might get asked in the interview? Is it going to be very restructuring specific or some general accounting/ finance/ operational sides of topics.

I just got invited to interview for a role in SFO that I also did as a Summer intern at Google Europe. And it turns out I have a fair number of first and second degree connections (bcoz of this internship) to the Hiring manager. Should I talk to them?

Tomorrow I have 2 interviews: for Market Data Analyst @ CS, and for Client Data Analyst @ AXA XL. I'm currently Junior Managed Operations Analyst @ FIS, with half YOE on this position, and almost a year as Audit Intern @ KPMG. I've decided to apply for those positions as just within those 6 months I've outperformed all of my team members except of 1 witch has over 3 YEO. I don't see more opportunities to grow there.

What are some not obvious questions that I can be asked / I can ask?

Anyone who renege and get any backlash? I signed an offer with a big 4 for full time and am still interviewing with other companies. ( Was an intern last summer and my offer got pushed out to summer cause my masters is 1.5 years and I graduate in December (In my defense the big 4 refused to let me go to another practice.) Plus pressured by parents to accept something before I graduate.

Would anyone from McKinsey Canada be willing to briefly connect? I'm interested in applying to the Business Analyst Intern role but am from a non target bschool. I have experiences that demonstrate analytical skills, independence, teamwork and communication and have decent casing experiences along with a great GPA. Would very much appreciate the opportunity to have a conversation!!

VC fund I interviewed with has 100 AUM. 6 person team. When I started talking with them, they wanted me to do a 3 month internship. Figured it was fine because I was tired of consulting and would get my foot in the door. Now they’re telling me that they just raised another 100M. And they want me to intern for 12 months with no guarantee of anything at the end. Clearly isn’t a money problem with the new fund so……

Hi everyone! I will be going through my first whiteboard/case-style interview for the first time (I was converted from an intern to full time at my current company). This marketing associate position would require some level of excel knowledge specifically on Pivot Tables & VLookUps for email campaign analysis. What’s your experience with interviews like these, and any tips for a first-timer? Thank you in advance!

As an intern, will interviewing with competitors for fulltime affect my shot at a return offer? (if current firm somehow finds out)

Recently I accepted an offer for a consulting position. However, I was just invited for a interview for a government intern position and that is another organization I would love to work for definitely in the future. How do I decline without burning bridges or potentially asking for fall openings ?

I’ve applied to all the B4/midsize/regional firms for tax staff/intern and was not even able to get a single interview. Graduated last year w/. 150 credits, 3.65 GPA, CPA in progress, under a year of relevant work experience/volunteer activity. Rehearsed my resume many times and wasn’t even given a chance. Is there is something wrong with me?

Hi, I’m an undergrad majoring in economics. I’m now a junior and couldn’t find an intern for summer. I am thinking applying to a one year graduate program in business analytics so I get more skills built up. Could anyone give me some advice about whether this is doable? I’m hesitating because I haven’t really taken much programming classes and most my coding skills are built up by doing research. Same with math. Thanks in advance!!
