Best tips to prep quickly for corporate strategy interviews? Going into final round with two VPs of strategy and two directors - ex-MBB and investment banking backgrounds. Thinking this will be very case driven and technical. Any advice helps!

I actually think it might be fit. VPs don’t usually give case interviews in my experience because by that point you’ve demonstrated your “technical” aptitude

So I recently started a position with Fox. When it was presented to me in interview, I was told I would be working aligned with Fox Sports & Entertainment, not so much News. Now that I’m here, I’m seeing everything I’ll be doing is with the News team & makes me uncomfortable. No diversity, outdated software & process.
Financially, it’s the best position I been in. But mentally in this environment, it’s depressing & slow. Nothing innovative or engaging. What would you do?

I work remote for 60k with 5 years of experience as a staff accountant, I sometimes get upset that I don’t get paid enough/not challenged enough. I had a great interview with a nonprofit that’s hybrid but almost 20k more than I what I make now. I will lose some of the flexibility I have but get paid more. Is it worth it?

Scenario, interviewing a candidate that has great experience for the role however candidate has a lot of tattoos. Nothing crazy or derogatory, would you pass on him/her? Not a customer service job either. Specially manufacturing…. Have you ever passed on a candidate because of tattoos?

It’s been really hard to keep my head up after what feels like endless rejection. Received a no today about position I really wanted. The interviews felt so genuine and I was even told I’d be a good fit. Ultimately it just seems that my experience isn’t translating, which really sucks when you feel stuck in your current role and want to make a transition. I’m so eager to keep learning. Would love to connect with any brand/account directors to get some advice.

Hi fishes! Nagarro declined the counter offer letter ₹33,00,000 + shares worth 4.5LPA

I've 6+ yrs experience (mobile dev.)

Nagarro offered 18LPA. Initially I told HR for 22 but he mentioned 18 into their internal portal to their senior so after clearing all interview rounds I got 18.

When I asked the HR, he told me to accept it for now and bring the counter offer letter so they can revise offer letter.

But now they declined. Weird.

I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

Hey all, first time poster here and still consider myself fairly new to consulting so please be kind.

Lastly, I’ve seen quite a big salary range for MBA hires. Anyone care to share the latest? TIA.
