Feeling horrible about bombing a case interview because I was specifically told all my interviews would be behavioral — I was up front that I was not informed and the interviewer was understanding but I really feel like I messed up horribly despite the other interviews going well — would love any stories of bad interviews to commiserate

In an interview for my first dedicated Salesforce role, I was asked a very basic security question and totally flubbed it. I sat in silence for soooo long before asking if we could revisit the question later and still couldn’t get it. I got the job.

Happened to me at S&. Was told I’d get 3 cases. They ghosted me for 3 months and then scheduled 3 interviews in a row with 48 hour notice. First two were not case-based. Third one was (Partner round) and I bombed it. Still got the offer - but they downleveled me

I feel like a good consultant should be able to work through a case interview on the spot. If you didn’t do well, I wouldn’t sweat it as you may not have been a good fit for the job.

Was 15 minutes late to my Accenture interview as an analyst. Got the job.

Flubbed some questions for my Google interview and blanked when I had to draw a line graph and share my analysis. It was bad. Interviewer tried to help me out and stayed 20 min after so we could work through it. I got an offer a few hours later.

Hi 👋 Nice to have this bowl here! I’m a CPA with 5 years experience in tax who recently realized that I can’t stand doing compliance anymore.

Do you code at all in tax tech? Or is it lostly macros and Alteryx?
