Does your firm matter during final rounds? I’ve gotten to a few final rounds at FAANG & PE ops, but haven’t nailed an offer yet. Wondering if it’s just a mix of luck & interview performance or if my brand matters. 4 yoe at Acn Strat.

Accenture has a good brand, the market is turning a bit towards the employers, lots of people are trying to make the switch right now. The economy did not add as many jobs as expected, so it’s probably best if you take it slow.

At final interviews your resume literally stops mattering

I highly doubt it’s the Accenture brand. I imagine that’s really only relevant to getting an interview

Agree. At that stage they’re more checking whether you can do the job and you’re the most qualified person they’re interviewing, as well as if they like you enough to make you part of their team.

Good to know haha will just keep pushing I guess

Thank you!

No I don’t think so. Came from Accenture now at AWS.

Sending good vibrations

PE is pretty prestige obsessed. It could be an influencing, but probably not a deciding factor.

I left my job about a year ago to relocate, make sure it was the right decision and start a side business in the mean time. Now I’m actively looking for a new sales position, have tons of experience, but am struggling to even get a response from job apps. I am wondering if this is because of my employment gap? I don’t have my side business listed on my resume because I don’t feel like I have enough positive “stats” to report yet given it’s new. Any advice or recommendations?

If I should be writing one, any advice how to format?

I’ve been a freelance print production designer for many years, and usually on-site in the before times. Now I work remote, and am finding it uneasy dealing with billing. Before I always billed hourly, which made sense, but it’s becoming an issue now. Some companies don’t have a full days’ work, so it seems wrong to bill full days, and it allows me to juggle projects for different companies, but my billable hours are down. I know I should bill a daily rate, but not sure that will fly. Thoughts?
