Nope. I’d be a bit hesitant if it was making new work. If it was just presenting a piece of work in my book like I was presenting a pitch I’d understand.

Sorry they don’t want new work - they’ve said I can present something existing. It’s just to see how I present.

Yup. I hate the idea. Decided not to pursue it once as it wasn’t worth it. Did the other time because it was. I might again if it was high level thought and the job was amazing. But it would have to be an amazing gig and not steal a lot of design time away

Seems like this is what portfolios, resumes and interviews are for. Anything else is a waste of time unless they are willing to pay your rate for your time.

Sounds increasingly common

it’s common - especially if they don’t want new work from you.

Just seeing how you will present work and if you can stay out of the weeds

Yeah I have recently. They wanted me to come in and work on a project with their art director to see how we worked together. They didn’t mention pay. I asked what the compensation would be like, and said that I could only do a weekend because I was working full time elsewhere. Never heard back ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Facebook had me do it. I feel like every chance to present is just practice. Who cares if it takes a couple hours to put the presentation together.

Anyone here familiar with the hiring process of KPMG consulting in Van? Had a partner interview on Nov 21, thought the feedback was positive but haven't heard back yet (no rejection/offer). Is it something normal or the interview just didn't go as well as I thought?

It's an experienced hire for an SC role. I saw the posting is still open atm, and my guess is that the recruiting team is comparing candidates since competition is higher due to recent layoffs.

Thanks in advance!
