Hello, I'm currently in a final round interview for Account Manager at a creative agency. As a written assignment very, I've been asked to answer the below question. Any advice?

1.we just won a large new client for an influencer mailer project. Walk us through any key initial points & questions to ask the client

Happy Friday fishes! I landed my first product manager interview next week - coming from a non technical background. How to best prepare for it? Any resources you would recommend (aside from cracking the PM interview)? TIA!

I had an interview with the hiring manager weeks ago but haven’t heard back even though I followed up twice with the recruiter. However, I did find some resource + techniques that I would like to share with the hiring manager that is directly related to the role I interviewed for, but this will be my first time emailing the hiring manager. Will it be weird?

I had a final round interview with Blackrock about 3 weeks ago and haven’t heard anything. I’ve reached out to the recruiter and hiring manager for updates but nothing. Is this normal? Just confused why they can’t tell me I’m cut or they’re still deciding…

Hi all,
I have a loop interview scheduled with microsoft for the finance manager role next week and was wondering if anyone has given one recently? It would be great to know more about what to expect and how to prepare accordingly. Any help or leads would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Anyone ever interview with / work for Mars? Pretty much no info here but getting requests for a senior manager role with pretty good comp. would love to hear about culture / experience

I had several interviews with Deutsche bank and they have verbally offered the job about 2 months ago. I noticed on Workday Tuesday the status says "offer in progress". In the time between, I did get some calls the offer is still in progress and is slowed down due to manager out of office (among other things). How long should I wait until I need to call back and get an update? And this type of situation commonplace?

Can anyone tell me accenture interview process, experience and difficulty level for the post of associate manager?

Currently interviewing with Barclays. I made it past the first round interview with the hiring manager and now interviewing with 3 other individuals. The role is a mix of product/strategy/innovation.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated. It seems like harp on their “Barclays values” a lot.

Been on the job hunt for the past 3 months. Applied to 200+. Interviewed with 15 companies (big tech + mid sized) but failing at either hiring manager round or ghosted after onsite. I’ve spent hours everyday applying, researching companies and prepping for interviews, watching videos, reading books, but just can’t seem to close the deal. Feeling so stuck, anxious and frustrated all the time.

Any advice how to get out of this situation?

Interviewing for an in-house role 🤞🏻 and my next call is for 30 minutes with the hiring manager in marketing. What would be good questions to sus if she would be a good leader for me and the team has a good culture?

It’s a senior global role in tech so im a bit nervous, it’s fully remote and offers a big salary. I have in-house and agency experience with global brands which is why they wanted to talk to me.

Interviewing for a product manager role that is strategic in nature and my background is more in operating model assessments, technology business case development, and technology enablement. How do I sell myself for the role when the execution piece (where I excel) is limited?

Need thoughts from fellow tech-focused folks:

I currently work in a data analytics role (Big 4). I have an offer from a mid-sized hedge fund to do business analytics (essentially management reporting), but have interviews with Google (product analyst - data science) and Citadel (compliance project manager) lined up. Is it worth foregoing the mid-sized hedge fund for the shot at the other roles? Hedge funds or tech the better place to be?

Hey everyone! I have a first round interview for a Senior Product Manager role at TikTok. Anyone been through the interview process at TikTok before and have any tips? This is my first interview in 8 years! 😱

I have an interview this week as an Engagement Manager on the GCP team. Any tips on the interview or possible questions would be much appreciated. I can't remember the last time I felt this nervous/excited about an opportunity. Any advice would help.

I am being interviewed by CTS for manager role and I already have an offer for 19LPA from another company. How much should I ask for manager role now? Is there any joining bonus offered? Please suggest from your recent experiences.

Interviewing for a position not held by anyone previously.. for a manager position. I would be leading the accounting department reporting to the controller When I asked about expectations, the answer made me pause. He wasn’t really sure and said it’ll be ever evolving. This is my 4th interview and now I’m not sure if I should continue. Other than that everything about the company sounded great.

Had a good last round interview and hiring manager wants to schedule a call for next week, how excited should I let myself get??

Had a final round and was perfectly content being patient for a phone call. Then a recruitment manager for the firm, who I never spoke to during the interview process, drops a view on my LinkedIn profile. Why y'all playing these games with me!

How do I approach an upcoming interview for promotion with my manager who has it out for me?

How are you applying to jobs? Besides referrals, are you looking up the hiring manager info and contacting, etc? I’ve been getting pretty lazy with LinkedIn easy apply 😬

I referred a close friend for a position L9-L7 (TBD). I had advised him not to disclose the amount of his expected salary, until he goes through all the interview rounds. Rather, I asked him to find a way to get a range for this role.

However, during the interview, the manager insisted on giving a number for 15 minutes, until he gave up his minimum salary to consider joining.

Is this a push by the management? Has anyone avoided disclosing their expected salary until offer was provided?

Interviewed for a role. 4 interviews total. 2/4 interviews went extremely well (Including 1 with hiring manager) . 1/4 I’d consider went fine. 1/4 not great (with the hiring managers manager), lacked confidence in my responses and certain questions I just didn’t have any experience. Pretty much tried to BS an answer.
How likely is it that I get the offer if I performed better than other candidates but unimpressed my future bosses boss?

Has anyone interviewed with a startup Valon Mortgage as a product manager? Looks like a pretty strong company of ex-Googlers, curious if anyone has gone through the process with them!

Anybody has given the Program Manager 2 interview for Amazon...??

Can please share your real questions??

Any companies hiring for Digital Transformation / Intelligent Automation roles? I've been applying a ton for manager level but would be great to hear from actual employees.

Hi AWS folks.. I interviewed for Sr.Tech Product Manager role(L6) and now I am being told that they can only offer me Tech.Product Manager role(L5).. is it normal? Anything that I need to consider before accepting the offer ?

I had 3 interviews back to back with PWC last Friday. First 2 interviewers were directors, they were on time and conversation went great. The third interview was with senior manager. When I logged in the video call he joins and let’s me know he will be 15 min late to attend client meeting. He joins back after 15 min and fires questions without letting me complete the answers. It left a bad taste because the 15min interview seemed hurried. Should I let recruiter know about this experience?

Interviewing at Microsoft for a Senior Program Manager role. The recruiter said PMs at Microsoft are technical and some of the interviews will focus on technical questions/design problems. I haven’t faced any technical or design rounds earlier (in my prior industry interviews) - how should I best prepare for it? Any advice who interviewed in similar roles or are at the role at MS? Really want to nail it this time, thank you for the help!

Does Deloitte require case interviews if you are interviewing at manager level?

I have an offer I signed where they want me to give a start date . Its 185k base 6% 401k.
I am at the end of final round for Microsoft customer success manager position. I actually did 3 interviews for final round but need to do another one with 2 managers who have roles i may be fit for. The HR did say the top range for the position base is 150. Should I give my start date and see where this Microsoft role goes? I don't know how much TC I can get from MS. Any insight would be helpful. 12yoe

If I have an interview during the day should I send an invite to my manager saying that I am OOO for half an hour?

Hi folks, need some advice choosing between offers received from Accenture, Deloitte and Wipro. Role level is similar at senior manager equivalent (similar level as my current role). Accenture and Deloitte offering 20% raise and Wipro about 30% plus they have higher bonus component so pay wise Wipro has highest offer.

Deloitte and Accenture had very long interview process and especially Deloitte which took too long. Slightly confused what will be good for me. I am into technology consulting.

Interviewing for strategy at a Series C company. Completed and passed case study, hiring manager is now asking for past client deliverables as examples and has set up sales inquiry on our website (we're a ~60 FTE firm so I see everything). Should I run or is this them being ultra diligent?
