Accenture Manager skills interview scheduled next week- any idea what to expect?

I haven’t interviewed for a position in 7 years. I have a phone screen tomorrow with the hiring manager for a Product Manager role at FAANG. I think I’m prepared, but still quite nervous 😱 worried my nerves will get to me

Anyone have any idea of pay ranges for HR Project Manager roles? Interviewing for a role and the recruiter told me they don’t have a range in mind yet - so I said 100-110K. Is that too low?

Job req is looking for 4-7 years of experience. I have 3 years of consulting experience and 3 years of HR experience.

Hey Salesforce 🐠. I had a first round interview (hiring manager) ten business days ago and haven't heard a peep since.

My workday still says "Interviewing". Is that normal? Does it ever change to something like "pass"?

Should I just move on? 🥺

Second round video interview tomorrow at a large food company. Manager level - do I wear a suit and tie?

Hi! I'm currently interviewing for a security manager role and was wondering what I can expect the TC to look like? It's hard to find reliable information online

you see the hiring manager looked at your LinkedIn profile but hasn’t followed up after interview. good sign? bad sign? reading too much into it?

Is it appropriate to search up and contact a hiring manager with questions before applying to a job? I’m looking for ways to better shape my resume to a job

Had a very promising interview and conversation with the president of a company I was looking to join as counsel, and felt sure to land the job. However when I asked for a hybrid schedule due to the long commute, it was a tough sell for him. I didn’t get the job. Now, 2 months later, they repost the listing. Should I consider simply reaching out via email to the HR manager or president to restate my continued interest?

Help!! I have a Deloitte advisory case interview on Friday and I am looking for any tips or insights into what kinds of scenarios I would get. I’m interviewing for a manager level role . I have not had to do case interviews in the past so any insight would be appreciated. They blocked me for 3 hours.

I am applying to law school and reaching out to folks at my BL firm for recommend letters. I have 2 so far: one from a sr. associate and one from my manager, both who know me very well. I also have a letter from a professor. Would it be superfluous to request a letter from a partner (former co-head of practice group)? The partner is very supportive and even asked if I could be enticed to come back to the firm after school. Most schools only require 2-3 letters. Is there a con to having more?

It’s been two weeks since my Accenture Technology Strategy final case interview and was told I did great but the hiring manager is deciding who moves on. Anyone have experience with this?

Looking for Accenture info!
Interviewing at Accenture in two areas next week: Account Manager Creative and Brand Marketing and
Content Experience Manager at Accenture Interactive

The former sounds exactly like what I do now at an ad agency but on the in house agency team with Accenture being the “client”. Lots of execution work. The latter is more about answering RFPs for existing clients and developing some strategy and like 30% execution. I’m leaning toward the CEM role.

Tax Partners/Principals: what are the traits you value most in the pursuit managers you work with? Alternatively, what kinds of things have you experienced that made it difficult to work with a particular pursuit manager?

Context: interviewing for a B4 tax pursuit manager role later this month.

I’ve been applying to Program Manager and Sales Excellence roles at one of my target companies, Microsoft. I have a contact there who has followed up with the hiring managers but still no luck. I’ve also reached out to a few people on LinkedIn for informational interviews but no replies yet. Any advice?

Interviewed at Accenture last week for Legacy to Cloud migration manager and just got another invite for a 30 mins interview with the hiring director. Any insight into the Accenture hiring process? At what point do I expect to receive an offer?

Throughout the interview process, I've engaged with a Jr recruiter, the hiring manager, several potential coworkers, and a Sr recruiter (but not HR). Most recent round of interviews was with potential coworkers. I sent them thank you notes and have been waiting to hear something for about 1.5 weeks. Should I be following up with the recruiter or the hiring manager to check on the status/next steps? I got a good feeling from the hiring manager (we met twice) but never got a timeline. TIA!

Anyone able to give more info on Program Manager roles with Apple? Have an interview coming up and would love to know what to expect in terms of questions, job responsibilities, and TC

Currently an Associate Manager (which is the level below Manager in ACN Tech) and applied for a Manager role at big4. I have 7.5 YOE. I’ve completed all interview stages already. The salary I’m demanding is too high so they are considering offering SM after I come back for another interview. Bad move or good opportunity?

I found out I’m getting promoted to manager, but still interviewing for manager positions (industry). Should I bring up the promotion during my interviews?

Accepted an offer yesterday and got invited to interview at a faang today. Hiring manager/future boss for accepted offer came from same faang. Is it worth taking the interview if there is a small, but non zero probability of hiring manager finding out and rescinding the offer?

Is it appropriate to ask about the comp/benefits the partner group makes at a regional consultancy I’m interviewing with (top 30)? At B4 I know I’d start around 300k in my practice, great pension, etc. Obviously it depends on growth of the firm (300mil rev last year, projecting 1B by 2026) but I’m just not sure how to go about it. I’m already a senior manager so just don’t want to join somewhere with not much room for growth even if I do join partnership.

Today I got another rejection email for an industry position. I have officially turned off “open for opportunities” on LinkedIn and no longer actively applying, I want out of consulting not another consulting firm which is what I received a lot of inquiries for.

I guess this is the realization that I’m stuck here for another 1-2 years until I make manager and become more relevant in the exit market…

Hey all, been targeting big tech roles within analytics and have had solid success getting interviews although landed nothing yet (amazon google Coinbase PayPal). I have 5YOE within analytics consulting.

A recruiter reached out for Senior Manager Data Science role within IT Audit. Comp would be ~200k. Went thru the interviews and expecting an offer next week.

Should I just decline and hold out for big tech? Kind of torn, it’s a unique opportunity to be a SM with direct reports at 5YOE.

Anyone ever worked for Randstad? I have an interview tomorrow for an account manager position for the IT market. Curious to hear all thoughts.

Interviewing for a Sr. Category Manager in GPO based in MTV:
1. What career level is that? L5 or L6?
2. How much would the typical comp. be for such a role in MTV?

Thanks a lot!

What’s a ballpark salary range I should be shooting for when interviewing with 5 yoe in consulting? Interested in either consulting or FAANG ranges for Manager/Product Manager roles

HELP: Went through the final round of interviews recruiter said the team liked me and I got all “yes’s” to join the team… I just needed to talk to the hiring manager’s boss. Fast forward to a convo with the hiring manager he says he has all positive feedback and then my recruiter goes on vacation… she returns on Monday but said her colleague would contact me if there are any updates…it’s been radio silent for almost two weeks now. I fear I’ve been forgotten. WWYD?
