Questions centered around a business perspective are refreshing.

Showing you care about more than the creative work, even if it's pretty shallow.

Probes around the client relationship show you are solutions orientated and understand the selling aspect of what we do.

Infrastructure questions, team set up, projects per year, platforms.

Asking about the agency process, is good for you understand the way they work (more helpful for you than them)

What work are they jealous of in their agency, also helps you understand their bar/standard.

Director interview after super day?

Had a super day last week and I thought it went well, partner sent back a nice message to my thank you note. Trying not to read too into it, but is it normal to have an interview with another director after having already interviewed with a director (and a MD)?

I did mention I have interest in a specific area with a director last week and it looks like this next director I’m interviewing primarily works in that area.

I'm currently in a process for senior associate at a Big4. The process began on July, yet between the first and second interview it took like 3-4 weeks. And between the 2nd and 3rd like 7 weeks. I sent an email to HR during those weeks asking for an update and didn't have an answer. Then it a 3rd one was scheduled three times (the manager didn't connect to the first 2) and next week I have the last interview with 1 partner. Is the timing normal? Or were they looking for other candidates or what?

Had an interview yesterday and the interviewer wanted to understand what I did - even 1 month gap between jobs - from 2009 to present 🤪 Not interested in the job anymore tbh
