So I’m about to start my interview process for Capital One next week for a Senior Financial Analyst position. My recruiter going give me a prep call on Friday but I wanted any advice that recruiters don’t tell you during the interview process. Also I wanted to ask if Capital One a decent place to work at. I will be working at the one in McLean Virginia if that helps.
KPMG I cleared all the rounds of my interview with KPMG and was asked to provide necessary documents and fill a CAF form a week back and had a HR discussion too. I have requested for about 3Lakhs additional fixed pay since my current CTC has increased and HR said she will get back on this. It's been a week and haven't heard back on the offer letter. How long do you think I should wait. Please wait.
brb...applying for a new role
I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.
I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.
Any advice or similar experience?

...of experience making and pitching. I explained that I have led teams intermittently. She’s been at the same agency for 15+ years. Likely we have different strengths. She seemed very suspicious about what value I could bring. I feel long-term freelancers have an innate hustle, ambition to do good work and interpersonal skills (we have to swallow way more shit or we don’t get asked back) than long time staffers don’t. Super generalizations here, but just wanted to get your thoughts.
In addition to all of the positive characteristics common in long-term freelancers as you mentioned above, she has obviously been working in a bubble for a very long time and is out-of-touch with how the industry has changed. Especially since a good number of freelancers aren’t freelance by choice, but b/c agencies no longer want to invest in FT.
Smart. I didn’t even think of that.
The ad industry has a major hang up about long-term freelance. There’s no rationale for their absurd freak outs if you’ve freelanced more than 5 years. As a freelancer you acquire so much versatility in your work, skills, communication skills, project management, time management, adaptability, range of brand experience, problem solving, and discipline!
Sad, that they can’t see the benefits of hiring a freelancer for temp or especially perm position.
Dumbasses.
Preach.
I managed a large teams for two years as a freelancer. Non AOR clients sometimes call for that. But it’s hard for folks who haven’t seen it to get it.
Freelancers don't get lots of management opps but they do exist. I'm freelancing now and have asked to lead projects and help manage teams for exactly this reason and to grow as a mentor. If you think you have the skillset but freelance hasn't allowed you to lead as much, just bs and say you lead teams on x y and z. You must have had some longer terms gigs ya?
I have led teams but only for a few weeks here and there. I taught workshops for college kids too. Forgot to mention that at the interview. Thanks for your reply✌🏼
Sounds like she was looking for excuses to keep the project to herself.
