Any pointers for case study of novartis for Data as a science department

Have first round interviews for BCG in 2 weeks- already did the pymetrics. Should I go through all the case studies available as prep or is it too soon? Sounds like first round is a behavioral and online case study- no live case. Confident in my behavioral ability, but want to make sure I am prepared for online case. Any recommendations are helpful. Thanks!

Having an Interview this week, and don't know how high I should set my salary expectations. I currently earn 24k/annum base + comission. Would it be unreasonable to say that I have 30k + comission atm? I think it also hardly depends on the location, I am currently working from Poand but would be working for a swiss company.
Currently have about 7months exp. and thoughts on this?
Appreciate the input

Currently working at EY and recently promoted Senior looking to switch into a Business Transformation consulting role. Could anyone provide some insights on the day to day, as we as the interview process? Thank you very much.

I mistakenly mentioned a client name when I was talking about my product management skills. This was for a product manager role interview at Apple that focused on Customer support.
I instantly realized that I shouldn’t have done that but I didn’t say anything because the interviewer seemed to be unbothered but he wrote something down. Also he continued with the interview like nothing happened. Am I screwed???

I have a meeting with a CEO of a start-up IB. She is meeting to help guide me in the industry (not just a job interview). What questions would you ask?

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Share any insights on Maven Clinic Product Operations Associate role? How’s the company culture , ProdOps team, wlb, salary, interview process

I have an interview for a Program Manager role, if accepted. What kind of compensation should I ask for..as a L & D associate I make $83k.

Am working at a tech startup and looking to move to a larger tech company. Partly seeking better WLB, partly want to work somewhere with more resources so I can continue to grow. What’s a good way to frame this in interviews? Does it reflect poorly to say I want to work somewhere w more resources, like im not a self starter?

After an interview, how do I negotiate my salary?

Currently have an offer, but not my top choice. I want to keep applying and see what other options open up but I'm worried I'm taking to big of a risk by rejecting it. Any thoughts on entry level associate job market? Background: I'm c/o '21, finishing up trial court clerkship, looking in NY metro area, and avoiding ID.

Quit my job at Victoria’s Secret about a week before the Hulu doc came out connecting Les Wexler with Epstein. I watched the whole thing and I’m furious I worked for them. When I was hired there, I was under the impression things were really turning around and going to be positive. There was a total lack of culture and employees are treated awful. I asked a coworker about the documentary last week and was told we’re not allowed to talk about it. Couldn’t be more excited to go back to an agency.

Anyone taken the Bain “online test” before interviews? Does it determine my chances of an interview or simply another step in the process? Some of the info seems to be general info collection

Interviewing for a senior role at a new company. Went through recruiter round, hiring manager round, panel round, and later today I have a 30 minute interview with the Controller. What should I expect? I typically thought the process ended after the panel interviews. Should I expect this to be technical or more culture fit?

How are your engineering teams estimating user stories? I want to validate how my company is currently doing them. Let’s say when one user story is broken down into front end task of 3 sp and a back end task of 5 sp, then the estimate they provide for the story is 5 sp. Is that the correct methodology?

Hi fish - any good resources for building a product ops playbook for cross market teams? Thanks in advance!

@UK Fish who are Product Owners/Managers. What’s contracting like?

I’ve had a few LI messages with roles but the contracts aren’t long (3/6 months) so I haven’t considered them because of job insecurity.

I’m also at an early part of my career and want professional support and development but I’m assuming that contractors are expected to be the finished product with little career growth support compared to perm employees.

Any insights would be great! Thanks

Currently make 190k base + ~$35k/year stock options as a Product Analytics / BI Manager at a Pre-IPO comp. Just received a PM offer from an early stage (Series A) comp. After negotiations, they offered $175k-185k base and 0.11%-0.07% equity.

I chose $175k / 0.11% because $10k difference in the cash offer felt not worth the potential upside of more equity. It’s a risk but time will tell. Bad idea / paycut (15k)?

For context I have 3 yoe in Data/BI, 3 consulting. Is this a good offer? Help Eval!

Any current or former Google PMs here that can provide advice? I have a final round with Google and my recruiter is only considering me for YouTube roles as they are from that org. I have a lot of cloud and SaaS experience and would be a better fit for G.Cloud. I've been trying to get my recruiter to consider me for the cloud vertical as well and they are refusing to do that. Someone has ordered to help get my application moved to the Cloud track but they asked me to think about this first

Hey folks- I’m a product manager (tenure wise, a senior analyst) working with a difficult/ stubborn SME (who is tenure wise a manager). He’s closely involved in the product build, and given the extreme hierarchy practiced at McKinsey, often shuts down my product thinking/ideas. He is extremely smart and knows the ins and outs of this problem space, competitors, and even our business priorities, but utterly rejects design and product thinking. For example…CONTD

Hey guys! I recently had a phone screen interview with Amazon for a Tech-PM and non-Tech PM roles. Amazon would like to move me forward with the non-tech PM role. Is this a good career path?
