Varies widely based on the individual (educational background, network, ability to hustle, and ultimate career goals). At the very junior levels, people tend to not leave but some are able to jump to IB analyst roles (typically middle market and lower focused firms). Slightly more experience and you’ll see people leaving to go get an MBA (M7 isn’t heard of for people with strong undergrad). Experienced FDD managers and above frequently go to dedicated diligence firms like A&M and others for large comp bumps (can be greater than 2x big4) or to FP&A roles. Most of the SMs I know that have left have taken VP of finance / CFO roles at PE backed portfolio companies. Most partners I’ve seen leave have taken roles in private equity, either heading up internal diligence functions or taking the CFO role

Usually questions start with “what/who/where/which/when"

Depends on where you want to end up. FP&A is a good way to get into large corporate and has great promotability to higher role. You could go to PE backed portfolio company as long as you are comfortable with the risk of ownership change in near future.

Digital/digitally-savvy PMs, can I pick your brains? I’m up for a Sr. PM position at a creative agency working mainly w/tech clients. My background is more print based, especially the last couple years. When I was working in digital, it was very straightforward (mostly static/animated banners with a little bit of social). Where can I brush up on digital trends? Which agencies’ work should I check out? Any blogs worth catching up on? Thanks!

GCA Questions Help

Hi everyone!
I've had 2 rounds of interviews at Google (UK) for a non-tech role in Platforms & Ecosystems (L4/L5). Recruiter told me that I've been selected for the final rounds (GCA + Leadership Interview). From his feedback, one thing they wanted me to improve on was the GCA Questions. Would anyone have any tips on how to prepare for these? I've checked some of Jeff Sipe videos online but would appreciate any support! I find GCA quite stressful...
Thx
Thanks in advance!

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.

Wanted to highlight Prudential Financial’s hiring practices. They rescinded my offer once I attempted to negotiate the salary. The official reason given was that I didn’t “sound excited enough”.
They then admittedly gave the offer to someone who was less qualified. There were other red flags throughout the job offer process that the HR team should overall be ashamed of.

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
