Advice needed: I was hired into my company right after MBA, but not as a part of the official MBA rotational program. My role has a lot of additional responsibilities than those in the program: I manage one person, publish monthly reports, etc. People in the rotational program have much fewer responsibilities (1 big project/6m). I feel like because of the timing of my hire, I’m pegged to a lower title than my job responsibilities. How can I effectively make a case for promotion?

I design and publish monthly and quarterly reports and have 2 people under me. Also 2YOE out of undergrad. I think you’re probably overestimating your responsibility

Fair point. And this is not a full list of all I do. From having worked with the mbas at my level, I know that my workload is higher. As for managing others, it really starts at the level above me and is common for 2 levels above me.

The only difference between you and the rotational program associates = visibility. Work on that and keep doing what you’re doing to make the case for promo

All -
I am interviewing for a Strategy leadership role at a SaaS company. A bit rusty on interviews so crowdsourcing from senior folks here, what are best practices or good examples of certain behavioral questions.

1. What is your weakness? I can talk at length about strengths but unclear what weakness to state so as to not mess up my chances.

2. Where do you see yourself in 5 years? This question is tough because there aren't very many levels above me so cannot say in an EVP role.
