Project Manager

I have an in-person interview on Wednesday. Can I wear a jean mask? Or should I wear something a little more formal?

How long did it take you to get your job - from first interview to offer?

Interview tomorrow and recruiter encouraged me to have notes out to keep track of my stories (5 interviews, 1 hour each). Should I acknowledge and ask each interviewer if it's ok for me to have notes out? I feel like it'd feel weird for me to very obviously glance at my screen after a question every once in a while without acknowledging what's going on or asking permission.

Interviewing at two companies. Company A I’m already at the Partner interview next week. Company B first interview is next week. Problem is company B is totally my preference. I feel confident I’d get it but I can’t be 100% sure. What have you guys done in scenarios where you have multiple offers landing at staggered times? I don’t want to resign for a competitor only to join a different firm in the end - feels like it makes me look confused and unreliable.

MBB fish involved in on campus recruiting, are there any predetermined slots or caps for first round interviews, final rounds, and number of offers by office?

Very interested in working in PE in emerging markets. Currently interviewing for PE roles domestically, but wondering if it’s better just to jump abroad immediately (Cont)

I applied to be a Mentor Teacher on my campus, and interviews are this Friday. What sort of questions should I be prepared for? ANY advice would honestly be helpful. Thanks!

Applying for round 1 as a senior analyst vs. applying for round 2 (or even 3 for certain schools) as a consultant - which would have higher odds of getting in? ACN promos aren’t effective until Dec

EY 🐠: Interviewed for a 1st round data role last Thursday. I thought the interview went well. I have yet to hear back from the recruiter and they haven't returned my email. Are they ghosting or still interviewing?

Stuck and need advice. Had been gearing up for a 3 day arbitration. I've done 70% of the work and senior partner just started stepping in as the hearing got closer. Also have my final interview for a new job this week and was told I'll have the offer. Plan was to put in notice, 2nd chair the hearing then start new job. Today, arbitrator postponed the hearing but without setting a new date. Want the new job, but feel bad leaving partner to do arb at some unknown point in the future. Thoughts?

Cold applied to McKinsey just for the hell of it. Got a call for a screening. Have no idea what to expect in the screen or overall interview process. Any tips/insights? (I’m now wishing I paid more attention to the MBB interview stuff in this app - I hear there’s a case? Haha 🤔)

I’m turning down a higher role with higher pay (12% higher) solely because the HR team has been extremely unhelpful throughout the decision making process. From not getting responses for weeks, to consistently receiving “I don’t know, let me follow up” then not receiving follow ups, and everything in between. All of the interviews leading up to the offer was great, but then red flags started popping up making me feel very uneasy joining this company. Have you ever denied an offer because of HR??

Just had first post-layoff interview ... Pretty nervous remembering what it was like to be on the other side of the table when I did the interviewing.

Telling a recruiter you have other interviews and possible offers coming in order to make them speed up a possible/rejection? Good Idea?

What to do if even after a lot of preparation, something or the other goes wrong in interviews? 😔 Am I doing something wrong? In the prep, everything goes well. Feeling completely lost.

I've started my job hunt in earnest. Revamped my resume, been setting up informational interviews, getting emails from recruiters ... I'm so excited for the next step!

Is it true that kpmg doesn’t do case interviews?

How many portfolios should I bring to an interview?

After you’ve connected with a consultant on LinkedIn what’s the best practice for asking someone to give you a practice case? To balance respect someone’s time vs coming off as transactional. Should you first ask for coffee chat, then later a case or can you ask for a case in your first “chat”? I am prepping for MBB interviews but I know consultants work crazy hours so I don’t want to take up more time than necessary - what would you prefer? What is the best practice?

My firms bonus structure is based on “billed out” (what a partner actually bills to the client) dollars instead of actual hours billed. So you can work 2000 hours but the bonus is based on only 1850 hours, because 150 got cut over the year. Is this normal? It seems entirely unfair and makes it impossible to get a bonus.

Anyone aware of the interview process for the Evening/Weekend MBA at Booth? Is there an option for an audio/video interview?

What do do when you are stuck in a bad project with no scope of skills for applying in other companies + you are a fresh graduate who just joined the project? Any escape options?

The more pedestrian your intellect, the better fit you are at D Heard of a colleague with an FRM charter being laid off today. Overall excellent person. And you won't believe who they promote year after year.. the character, curiosity and quality of the lifers Don't join this firm if you for a love of learning and to be inspired. Join if you are a middling who wants a good brand to hack ahead in life and rise above your station

I worked hard at a small agency and was promoted from AE to AS after only 8 months in the industry. I had to leave and found a contract position as an AS at a large agency. I am finishing my contract and my boss offered me a permanent position, but wants me on as an AE. I am open to the AE position, but they are unwilling to compromise on the AE salary which is a substantial cut from my salary at my former agency and 45% of my contract pay. What do I do? Do I leave if I feel I deserve more?

I'm glad we're having these conversations about race, gender, wages, etc in an reasonable way that doesn't involve flagging posts. As a black female it's hard to ask coworkers directly what (contd)

Hey all, I had a web application running on Google App Engine (from 2011). Didn’t need much caretaking and at some point appengine got an overhaul and now I can’t figure out how to navigate the setup. I’m told the project needs an organization but I can’t figure out how to connect the ancient project with my org. Any googlear out there with some insight?
