D1: I think good overall but if I get an offer I probably won't take it. Not really into sales

Any good cases or brain teasers?

Following, any chance you can share the cases?

It was a digital media company and the first part of the interview was a case study. The vp of sales and vp of business analytics have an excel sheet full of sales data for two quarters and they wanted me to cut the data into a few ways to see how the cost, gross margin and profit varies. Also wanted to me to look at how the product lines differ. They gave me an hour to prepare and I presented with them grilling me. They also wanted to know how they could change there sales forecasts people process to make it more accurate And bunch of other questions

Then I just met a bunch of VPs, directors and a SVP. It was a very casual interview and standard after that. Only thing that annoyed me is that they really tried to get me to say what clients I've worked with but I luckily kept shush

How'd it go??

Thanks for sharing! Are you S&O and if so what level are you? I interview for a sales-y position a while back and didn't get in.

Thanks for sharing the experience OP

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?

Hello!

I finished my final round(s) for a TAM position at 
Google (GCP) last week and was told by my recruiter that my feedback was great and that I made a solid impression on the team and am "firmly in the running". I was supposed to hear back this week (according to the recruiter) but he just told me that it's still in the process and that I'll have to wait for another week or so.

Is this common at Google ? I have heard they are notorious for being really slow with their hiring process.

Hi! I'm currently interviewing (3/6 interviews so far) for for an appeals manager role for DME. The job entails not only to bill for dme (cms 1500) but also to follow up on any denials or appeals, amongst other administrative duties. My questions are is it typical to have 1 person doing both the billing and denials within a new vertical for all ins.? How difficult is billing for dme as I only have experience in gyn onc and lactation billing? What's a fair salary? I have 8+ yoe in rcm, no certs.

So is clients asking for a unpaid writing test “that shouldn’t take more than two hours” really a thing? When I asked the recruiter how they intended to pay me for those two hours, I was told it’s an unpaid test but’s she’d see if they would make an exception 🤔

I politely passed on the opportunity.
