Any Sloanies or Sloan Admit’s in this bowl who wouldn’t mind sharing some tips for the interview? Wondering how technical it may get or what general vibe/questions asked are. Thanks so much!

I will say though I didn’t think mine was super friendly... I also didn’t pass the interviews maybe that’s why lol

Mine was super casual. We chatted about corona, the short answer essays, and my job. Very few typical “interview” questions (e.g., “tell me about a time when you showed leadership”). They did ask the classic why MBA/why now/why Sloan.

I’d say mine was very similar to SA1, it’s very much like a HBS interview without much probing to the next level but the interviewer comes in prepared with what they want to ask

like

Yeah mine was almost entirely about a nonprofit I started in college and how it connected to my recent work in philanthropy and my future goals - super conversational and friendly

like

Mine was focused more on behavioral questions, nothing on my additional essays or anything technical. Got in, happy to answer any other questions :)

Hey everyone. Foreigner here applying as an AD. Who’s the best person to reach out to? Would appreciate any leads or just plain insights of the work and culture here.

Are there any fundamental differences between a salary negotiation during the start (applying for the job) vs. Salary negotiation during a performance review (you’ve been employed for x time and looking for a raise). I’m in the latter and wondering if there are any maneuvers that are different I should be doing.

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
