Interviews

I have a opportunity but I’m not sure how to maximize it or even have the conversation. I’ve been approached by two different companies to take senior designer or higher positions. I wasn’t looking and I’m very happy with where I am but people recommended me and a recruiter reached out. I’ve chatted with both and one wants me to interview next week. The other wants to have another chat and “try to make the job more shiny to me”. How can I use this to gain a bump at my current job?

Currently a senior graduating in December, looking to apply to MBB within the next few months. Would anyone be willing to chat about their role, experience, interview process, etc? Thank you!

Hi everyone, I have an interview with Solenis for a senior analyst. I have 2.3 years of experience. What can I expect in the interview?

Anyone had a FAANG company try to mislead you in applying for a role you’re overqualified for, hoping you’ll jump just for the name? I was approached by Apple for a channel sales role. I made it clear that I have been a senior manager in the past, and wouldn’t take a more junior position than that. The recruiter said the seniority can be defined later, and we should just talk. I had one interview, which went really well. Next thing I knew, they wanted to schedule 6 more interviews [cont]

Is it just me or are NYC rates starting to get low? I'm getting interviews that's 65k for senior roles at top agencies, but 95-125k in the middle of freaking nowhere in PA and MA for midish roles.

Anyone else feeling this?

Hi all! I am applying to the Senior Analyst role at McKinsey Africa SHaPe hub. Looking for advice about the structure of recruitment and succeeding through interviews.

If you are interviewing for a position a level above (senior counsel) and the interviewer asks you “where you see yourself in 3 or 5 years”. what are they trying to get at? I don’t understand how this question should be answered.

Got promoted to manager this year and making 152k. Got an offer from BCG Platinion but they're bringing me as a Senior Consultant for 160K.

I tried other exit ops at Amazon, FB, MSFT, Walmart, Mastercard, etc but they never followed through past the initial interview or call with the recruiter.

Would the move to BCG be a good idea? I'm stuck at EY doing implementation work I'm not enjoying and I'd be doing more IT strategy and management at BCG which I enjoy more.
