The best interview tips I got were pretty general, but they've served me well. A mentor told me interviewers want to know how you think, and they want to know if you're easy to work with. So if you field a question that stumps you at first, remember that it's not a game show where you need a precise answer. Talk it through and demonstrate how you would approach it and get to an answer. And remember to be personable, as someone once said to me, no one wants to hire an oddball or a lone wolf.

Hey all! I have an interview with
Deloitte in Regulatory Risk and more precisely in their Investment Management Services team. I would like to know if anyone
knows what the job entails exactly. I keep hearing about people "fooled" into taking a job in risk advisory thinking it'll really be advisory while they only end up doing IT and Audit support (which I do not want to do).
Is it the case here?
Thanks!

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?
