Anybody have some thoughts to share about doing an interview with an MD at Alvarez & Marsal (i.e. what to expect, good things to ask)?

I would focus on things such as how they think A&M is different than the B4, why they joined the firm themselves, why clients would use A&M instead of a B4, and what they see as both the good and bad things of working at A&M compared to where they came from. We also have very low turnover, so ask them why they think that is the case. I’d like to know these answers myself!

You can also see partner bios on the website - so that would be something to read through first imo. It could also trigger a good question.

Hi Fishes,

I am a DBA and have an offer from LTI and expecting offer from Globant and Consilio.

Offered CTC: 16LPA

YOE: 5

Which is a better company to join considering job security and Worklife. balance.

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android). I completed the coding assessment and now they want me to go through a round of 5 hour interviews next week. Is there a good chance I'll be hired if engineering managers are reaching out to me? I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?
