Do experienced hires ever have to do case interviews? Thinking of going elsewhere but didn't have to deal with case interviews at PwC so wondering if that is something I should prepare for.

Valid question I think. Case interviewing a mid 30s person just seems silly to me - unless the "case" is specific to the background they have. You aren't hiring someone senior for their potential and general thought processes but for the specialty skills they now have.

I didn't have to do them either. Maybe b/c I'm not in Advisory. Any good training to help prepare?

Yup, but as an experienced hire, it was more oriented to my domain.

Even at manager + level?

Hey ZSers,

I have been selected into ZS for the BTAC role under CCM(Customer-Centric Marketing). My YOE is 3.8 in Cognizant, and the domain is ETL, DW, cloud(AWS).

My question is, ZS is giving a great package compared to what I have in Cognizant (Above 100% hike), and Cognizant is ready to retain me by giving somewhere 50%-60% hike. Will ZS be a good choice for me to switch? In terms of growth, technologies, work, pay. Or should I accept what cognizant is giving and get retained?

Having major imposter syndrome still. I feel like the minute I finally have a grasp, something changes. The law and nuances just seem overwhelming. Maybe it’s just a lack of guidance/uniformity in the US. I’m not sure if I feel this way because it is simply the nature of the work or because I’m just not capable.
