Any recommendations for recruiters? NY RR second year. I prefer to stay in NY.

I have an interview with McKinsey on Monday, any tips/suggestions?

I'm currently on implied status in Canada (applied for an extension before the expiration date on my OWP), but lost my job two months ago. I'm actively applying (and interviewing) for new opportunities. What's a good time to mention to a potential employer that I'm on implied status? I tried coming plain from the first interview, but that has been working against me. The CIC website says I can keep working with an expired WP and SIN but recruiters think otherwise. Help!!!

Does anyone know where I can build a really good resume? & what exactly do I need to add (keywords, specific resume design etc.) in order for employers to want to hire me faster? I should be graduating and getting my Bachelor’s degree in Business Management this fall.

Heading into a panel interview this Monday. Around 4-5 folks on the call. What are some of the questions I should be asking by the end of the call to make sure I leave a lasting impression in front of the panel.

hiya fishes. happy friday! sorry if this isnt the right bowl, but this is in regards to vacation time. i have an interview process starting next week, and wondering when it would be good to mention i would be OOO between the middle of the month in september? its for a week. im unsure if i can twist this to have a start date once im back. going back and forth on being transparent vs. mentioning it later on. thoughts?

What does it take to pass final rounds?

I did decently well on all components (framework, brainstorming, exhibits) but made 2 calculation mistakes with one interviewer… already anxious as I wait for news

Anyone working with Agoda as an Analyst?
I have my interview scheduled in the coming week.
It would be great if anyone can help me with their experience.
Thanks

I have an interview coming up at the end if the week for a process chemist position. The company site is a bit bare since it's a new company. What would be the best way to prepare? What types of interview questions do you feel almost always come up and tips on answering them?

Interviewed for a sr. PM last Thursday. Was scheduled for 30min but we went to an hour and had a really good conversation. The questions I got asked I was told the answers were perfect by the hiring manager. I felt really good coming out of it but then followed up with an email thanking them for the time the next day and I never received a response or next steps. Am I thinking too much into it or is it not a good sign?

EY FAAS, are you expected to participate in Bus dev efforts and win work as a senior? Also are you solo or have a team/ mentors to work on engagements with? had only 20mins interview, no time for questions. Lol

Hi all,
I had a query to all the experienced guys and to HR (if any)
My wife is a physiotherapist(Doctor). Bt the scope and growth is not that much.
So i am planning to get her into IT by doing some certifications of Testing profile.
Will there be any issue from the HR end at the Time of hiring?
Will her resume get shortlisted in naukri profile as she belongs to medical field and trying for IT?
Assuming she has gained all the technical knowledge for the skillset

Last week I had an interview with Infosys, it didn't go well as per my expectations but i was able to answer most of the questions asked by the panel and they said I will get the feedback from HR team but it's been more than one week and I didn't get any update on this. Yesterday I also wrote an email to the HR who scheduled the interview but still no update.

Should I consider that I am not being selected?

Got promoted after submitting my application for R2.

Emailed the schools and some have replied saying I should update my resume and send to them.

I'm a little at a loss of what to add to my resume. As most of you know in consulting we don't get a bunch of new responsibilities the second we get promoted to the next level (at least before getting promoted to M).

I'm thinking I will add a section for Senior Consultant and add what my responsibilities reasonably would be in 3-6 months (cont)

I've been searching for a new job because I know I am underpaid. I have 12+ years of experience in the event industry and seven years in the Event Tech world. I interviewed with Netflix, Amazon, and Microsoft. I went through all the stages, but I was not selected. Any advice? I think I did great in all my interviews; my resume is solid, and I have four university degrees including a Master’s. I speak English and Spanish. Any advice of what my problem might be?

What is typically the policy for putting the deals you have worked on in your resume? I have seen conflicting notes on whether you can include or not (only the deals that are closed and public)

I’ve had to step away from social media for my own mental sanity as I have a major issue with comparing myself to peers when it comes to life stages. (Single female, 34, never married, no male prospects, dog mom.) As a result, I feel like I’m doing a disservice to myself professionally as social media is a HUGE communication channel. Any advice on staying away or including it in my life in healthy ways?

How long does the honeymoon last in Big Law for new associates? When does one start to get brutalized (aka “experience the culture”)?

Thoughts on exit options for Cap Markets/M&A, including both legal and non-legal? I’m Australian considering moving to NY with more cap markets experience under my belt than M&A, not sure if I should go harder for a M&A role for the exit options. Any thoughts?

Any insight on Proskauer’s NYC L&E practice group? Good place for associates?

New York’s court system is postponing all “non-essential” services starting Monday.

In need of some advice- I’m a second year and currently work as legal counsel for a private home builder/developer. I get to see and work on various matters such as corporate, financing, commercial real estate and anything else they need help with. I got an offer for another counsel position for a Regional section of the government, the pay is way more but it’s more focused on construction. I’m attracted to the pay but I’m worried that I’ll be pigeon holed into construction moving forward… cont

Partners - Do you ever take vacations?

I have been at my current firm for about 1.5 years, and in that entire time the partner in my group hasn't been out of the office a single time. Is that normal? I can't tell if it's standard for big law partners to not take time off, if the dynamics for my group may be different (only 1 partner in the entire group), or it the partner I work with is just a masochist.

Is it worth using a recruiter? I am a U.S. Dist. Clerk in non major market targeting NYC. Didnt summer at a firm. T6, good grades (3.5-3.6).

I’m a second year M&A associate and I have a second round with Gibson Dunn in their NY office. Any insight on the office, practice, environment and etc. Would be greatly appreciated.

Any insights on Goodwin’s data privacy group?

Has a partner ever come back and asked you why you spent so much time on certain things? Im a first year and this hasn’t happened to me at my firm and they tell us not to cut our own time, but my first firm (short stint, small firm) did this to me allll the time and made me feel guilty — so just curious if this has happened to anyone in big law.

How many pro-bono hours do you bill each year?

Does your firm's bonus structure actually take into account pro-bono hours, or do they just say that without meaning it?

#probono

Any NYC big law firms heard anything about target hours being prorated this year? My firm has 2K target that was cut to 1800 in 2020 for Covid. So far no word on whether it will happen again, given that we’re still remote and challenges WFH (especially for associate parents) are still the same.
