How many interviews did you go through? any idea on the pay band? Currently interviewing as well.

1 with mgr. 1 director. Last will be case with MD.
They told me to prepare accordingly - all interviewers have their own style and some may present a case study. I let the HR rep know to tell me ahead of time if it is case or not. They were nice about it

Also interested. On my 6th interview for advisory after having a partner interview last week.
