How many weeks does the interview process take at FAANG companies?

What were the different recruiting stereotypes for the Big 4 at your university? Example: Deloitte got the frat and sorority ppl, PWC got the type A personalities, Etc.

I can’t help but feel that the partners in my practice have already decided who they’re investing in to help develop and promote—and it doesn’t include me. I’m a high performer and well-liked, but I see other people at my level and above still get preferential treatment and I think this is hindering promotion. My only solution is to find an exit to another firm. Has anyone else been in this situation and also found their only way to solve this was to leave?

MS folk - Does the firm offer any services for GMAT prep/ business school? I.e. reimbursement for books, consulting services etc

Is it normal to approach random people / recruiters on LinkedIn and ask them for a referral for a position at their company? How do I go about getting referrals for jobs that I want?

Now I remember why I hate AA. Cross country flight with no TVs and old plane

Let’s talk raise negotiations. If the firm generally offers a 4% raise to associate attorneys every year (and its customary to accept and not counter) what percentage is too high of a counter offer? What would be reasonable? (plaintiff side so no billable hour; 3 year associate; Houston; low 60k salary)

Anyone have any insight into whether Polsinelli is going to make ANY move to raise in response to all these other raises?

Do Hilton points expire if you don't make a stay at Hilton? If so, better to use 25000 points on a gift card or airline miles?

Legitimately on the runway first in line to take off to nyc and LGA has a ground stoppage. WHY LGA WHY. Can I just not be delayed one fricken time

Anyone doing management masters at Harvard Extension School? Can it take you places? What are the career opportunities?

Is putting pre-tax money into 401k or setting aside after-tax money better? After-tax money is set aside in an Amex account that it's less easy to withdraw and earns about 0.9% interest income.

I’m a jr litigation associate with many years of tech work pre law school. A former coworker has offered to submit my resume for a legal role at her company (also tech) basically doing contract and privacy work as well as other tasks relevant to my former work life. My current resume is full of litigation experience from law school, since my resume is written for applying to lit positions. On the one hand, it bolsters my legal experience. On the other, it’s not relevant to this role. Do I cut?

Tough weekend personally. Took extended time off last year so I am reluctant to take off tomorrow. But I may burst into tears when the team asks tomorrow how the weekend was. I know it will get better but in the meantime, can’t tell the truth and can’t hide it either.

Anyone familiar with the Mini MBA run by Marketing Week’s Mark Ritson? I’ve seen a lot of promotion of the program in the last few weeks and it starts tomorrow. Curious if anyone has either done it, or know others who have. I’m a 10-year veteran in the marketing/advertising space and wondering if I’ll derive much value from it. Thanks for the help. 🙏

I am a S3 (no healthcare experience) and have been looking but noticed that healtcare companies or providers are offering really low pay, not comparable to other industry. Am I right?

All I want are accurate numbers. Total number of known cases by locality, town, city, county, state, region, age group, race, etc. Then to compare those to issues like number of deaths (and I mean specific to Covid-19 and not that they have the antibodies or had it at some point - I mean specific cause of death is Covid-19). L us see the math and make our own decisions. A report said if you “take out” people above 60yo the infection rate is 0.0003%. I don’t know who or what to trust anymore.
