Most of the consultants make up their own cases there but I didn’t find them particularly difficult when I interviewed a few years ago. I did 2.5 cases throughout my two rounds.

When I was a case interviewer there, I gave medium-level cases from a case book bc I didn’t have time to think of my own case and exhibits.

No the framework is just a means to an end.

It’s all about logic - they assess your quality of thought.

The math is pretty easy. They know you can use a calculator IRL, but want to screen out people who aren’t comfortable with numbers. Plenty of meetings include quick numbers thrown around and if you can’t keep up you’ll look stupid.

The entire thing is highly subjective. You can get parts wrong but come up with a new way to solve the problem that impresses the interviewer and get an offer.

Think about it like sitting down w a client. Sound smart and logical and help them break their problem down into smaller pieces. Don’t freak out or reach for a calculator if they drop a number. Don’t force a stupid unnatural framework. Do have fun solving a problem with them.

I have given interview for CGI. One round of technical interview took place . There is no further communication from H.R.

Seeking advice: I am a young sales consultant and sales engineer working for a tech startup company. I have 6 years of sales experience. And I have been helping run my family business for the past 10 years. I was intially interviewed for a senior account executive position at a $70k offer. Instead they told me I needed more training and hired me as a Junior account executive at a $50k salary + commission. Today is my 6th month mark and I have done very well. And no talks of a promotion / raise..

Recently started going through the interview process. I ended up going through 2 interviews in about a week. After the first interview I heard back the following day saying that they wanted to meet for a second one. It’s been about 4 days now since the second interview, which felt like it went great, and still haven’t heard anything. Am I being impatient or should I have heard back by now? I already sent a thank you message after the second interview, should I try to follow up again?

Looking to get a bit of insight on breaking into tech working as an executive assistant after working for BigLaw for 20+ years.

I've been applying to tech companies for executive assistant positions - in particular, remote work positions - and I have yet to get a nibble.

I'm extremely tech savvy and have a lot of initiative but I am afraid that these companies are put off by how long I've been working assuming that I am a middle-aged woman that is not able to go with the flow.

Q: for FAANG recruiters, do candidates get a reject stamp after failing even at the later stages?
I advanced to the last stage at
Facebook (Meta) around a year ago but failed on my last interview, a combination of not being familiar with the process and not having chemistry with the interviewer.
A friend who is a hiring manager recently recommended me and this time without even a HR call I received a straight up thanks but no thanks email.
Does this mean I’ve been permanently black listed?

Does anyone have a similar experience? I interviewed with recruiters from two of "Big 4". Both interviews went well, and I was told the recruiters will submit my resume to the partners and senior managers for the next interviews. 3 weeks later, I received the rejection letters without the next interview. I wonder why the partners even not bothered to interview me. If it matters, I am a CPA with 3 years non-PA experience and applied for experienced associate positions. I appreciate any insights.
