Yup, I came from industry and I was tested

Both written (traditional) and presentation cases

Which sector & office?

Transportation, NY

No presentation case for experienced hires. Good luck

I’ll have to brush up beforehand it seems. Hoping the cases are industry specific vs ‘747 golf balls’ type

OW will have 2 case interviews; (1) traditional case interview, (2) presentation case - you will be given the question and 30-45 minutes to prepare, then will present to 2 interviewers. Very rare for any ‘gotcha’ type questions - should be a realistic scenario

@SC - not sure that’s right for EM level EHires. Don’t think they need the presentation case. Or at least they wouldn’t in London. Would be a mix of CV and case

Experienced hire, came from SC level at EY to DC S&O, and had a case interview. No presentation

What’s your work-life balance like? I feel like I’m constantly working after hours, always balancing multiple projects, hardly ever going through a phase where there isn’t a ton of critical initiatives going on. It definitely wasn’t like this when I was a more junior PMM, but as a Senior PMM, my work-life balance has severely decreased. Is this just the nature of Product Marketing? Or can I actually find a senior PMM role that allows a bit more room to breathe?

When I wear more "feminine"-looking clothing, I feel more more uncomfortable and awkward. 🤷🏼‍♀️
