A v20 firm has put me through 3 rounds of interviews with about 12 people in the group. The main partner wants to talk to me a 3rd time now and my recruiter tells me the interview is over and now it’s just discussion, what’s it going to take for me to make the move. I have a few concerns that I wouldn’t raise on an interview (such as, I’m 7 years experienced in x y z but this firm does a b c, which is similar to x y z, but still not the same). I’d learn fast but also nervous. Do I bring this up?

Don’t phrase it like that. Say your experience is x and you know it’s related to a. Ask what they’ve done in similar situations to help get people up to speed and/or ask for good resources

Is it a concern for YOU? What do you want them to say? They know what you have done before - they have asked you 12 times - and it’s not an issue for them; what is the purpose for you of bringing it up? If you like the firm and are not a junior, it sounds like a good match: join, “fake it till you make it” and be comfortable that they know.

And every discussion before you sign is an interview.

Hello Fishes,

I currently hold offers from below:

Planning to join OFSS as I will work in product development team and can work in any shift timings with WFH.

Today I had my 2nd round interview with EY GDS and got rejected.
Do I need to worry about this and feel low?
Could EY GDS would have been better instead of OFSS?

Please provide your valuable inputs.
