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.

Hey folks, can y’all share tips and tricks to get over interview anxiety? I’ve joined toastmasters to work on my public speaking and communication skills in general + I practice interview questions before interviews. The issue is, when I think about an interview I start to panic. Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks!

Actually, I gave Interview for BackEnd Developer @ Itilite. I was selected in the interview process (2 Tech DSA Based + HR) and got a mail stating that our interview panel is really impressed with your domain related expertise in order to proceed with offer negotiation please submit your documents. Now after 2-3 days of document submission, they came up by saying they cant move forward with my candidature.

I am still amazed how can they do this after asking my documents.

How’s y’all experience working at SDIS? Siemens. I have an interview for a cloud infrastructure consulting position. What’s the culture like. Projects y’all work on etc.

Made a career pivot to another agency. During the interview we talked about how it may start as initially a "step backwards" (pay/benefits) but has potential for more long term growth. First day was yesterday. Had no communication about when or where to show up, sat in an empty office for about half an hour before a couple people finally showed. No phone call or email. Sent an email to the founder, no response. I could easily get my old job back if wanted.

What would you do in this situation?

Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

Reminder to everyone: use your 2021 vacation time. Don’t let it pass you by just because you’re not traveling. Take a long weekend once a month to nap and eat chips in sweat pants all day. We all need to do our part to normalize self care, and sitting at home doing “nothing” is just as worthy of a vacation day as pina coladas on the beach.
