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.

Hi Fishes,

I recently got an offer for Cyber security advisory at

Hi Fishes,

I have attended two interviews with cognizant for the same role. From that, I have got an offer letter from one panel and I am discussing with the HR about to make some salary revise.
Unfortunately, the second panel also processed my profile and it got short listed and they come back for a talk to process the offer letter. Now the first panel HR called me and asked about the second process why it got happened.
Does this results in any drawback for the offer letter i have got already?

I’m have a new theory about why juniors always feel like idiots and wanted to see if anyone else thinks this makes sense. I’m a third year, and am the most junior person all of my teams (generally me, a senior or two, and a partner or two), and I always feel like I’m messing something up. Is this just because I never get to work with other juniors and don’t see the mistakes they make, and that it’s relatively normal? And FWIW I went to HYS and I’ve had a clerkship so it’s not like I’m not smart
