I interviewed there a little while back. Behavioral Qs are pretty standard, though they may ask you about your favorite feature of LinkedIn and what would you improve upon so be ready for that. Cases are generally about their business model so definitely study their b2b and b2c offerings, revenue drivers (subscriptions and ad money), and competitive landscape. I actually received a case about a FAANG company so I was a bit unprepared for that. LinkedIn is all about closing what they call the “network gap” and ensuring every member of the workforce has equal employment opportunities

LinkedIn cares A LOT about cultural fit. There is an expectation that you know what our mission and vision is - to create economic opportunity for every member of the global workforce.

Hiring is very similar to Consulting hiring, you must have an advocate for you in the room (i.e. if everyone in the room thinks you’re a good candidate but no one will stand their ground for you, they’ll likely pass).

Managers are generally expected to do IC work as well (you can get up to Senior Manager without direct reports), so the case study does matter.

Most people on the team are former consultants, so they know how consultants generally work. Referrals and “vouches” from other people matter a lot especially within the same department / function.

Happy to answer any specific questions too.

Hi guys,

I need an advice/suggestion here. I got an offer from 2 different organisations and choose one among them (Role: Analyst) because of the culture and benefits. And the other offer has a good pay and good designation (Associate Consultant) rather than the one I choose. Now i feel very low due to this decision that I took. I feel like I have settled down for a lower package and a lower designation. Is there anything that I can do in the current organisation that I’ve joined at a week back

I'm SVP/strategy for a PR agency. I moved into PR, Healthcare, and Strategic Planning only 3 years ago.

Or that I'm qualified). But long-term, knowing account roles are so much more plentiful than brand planning in PR, I'm wondering if I should start thinking about account. Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
