Any advice on how to succeed when being pulled into a very messy project? So far it has had very high turnover, is understaffed, and I’ve even been told by some that they would quit if they had to work on my work stream. I’m a SC but seems like I’ll somewhat be operating at a manager level role while also being expected to do the more detailed analyst level work (which is a lot). Not feeling great about inheriting a messy project that is super far behind, & I’m also pretty new to the firm

Doing 2nd of 3 interviews on Tuesday and looking for interview tips. I learned very quickly that I don't understand how the levels and total comp packages work. I'm interviewing for a Business Operations Specialist and when looking at salary ranges they are all over the place. Add in the changes a few months back and I now have NO idea where I should fall.
I have 10 YOE and I am in Seattle..
Anybody have an idea of what level this role may fall into and what sort of BP and TC to consider?

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!
