Oh man - I haf a final round with YouTube a couple weeks ago. There were 5 interviewers total and most just asked about my experiences and why I'm looking to leave consulting before 1.5 years.

They all did cases as well, some were structured and some weren't (make sure you bring structure to the ones that aren't). While most of them were easy, one of them made me draw the slides out and dinged me for not having action driven subtitles.

Also, make sure you know the KPIs that will be used to measure performance in that business (i.e. click through rate, impressions, etc.)

Okay thanks! Could you give me examples of the structured and unstructured cases?

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently

As an aside, I sent thank-you notes to all of the interviewers but didn’t hear back. None bounced back so I’m hopeful that I got the email convention right. Send me good vibes!
