Don't make it weird. If it matters for decisions, they already know.

If someone asks how did you find about the role, feel free to mention his/her name. Don't drop rank.

I wouldn’t really think of it as name dropping if they ask...and they will, I got asked in all my D interviews. But I wouldn’t go on and on about it.

So you are interviewing only because you know a senior partner?

Well no, I was talking to him about potentially applying and he sold me on Deloitte and referred me

I would suggest name dropping if they are talking about character. If the partner is someone who is well respected they have to trust their referral

Get ready for the case interview

If he referred you, they already know. Partner referrals get flagged

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

Mid-level associate at a mid-size regional insurance defense firm practicing coverage litigation. Salary is capped b/c my firm only does I.D./coverage and has no direct-hire comm clients. Second round of interviews with a comm lit boutique where I would be the only associate with 5 partners. Other than partner track, salary/benefits, and switching from coverage to general comm lit, what qualities of the move should I be thinking about as I weigh my options? I've never worked at another firm.

Hi guys, After CAF completion by last week, yesterday I received a call from the HR for the second round of evaluation. So, I attended it yesterday and performed well by answering 90-95% of the questions. Even the interviewer gave good comments on my performance. But suddenly today I received an email that my candidature isn't suitable for the role and they're keeping my profile in the database. Does this mean they'll call me if there are openings with some other project?

I have been interviewed on 23rd April and was asked to upload documents on the same day. From that day my application status is Review in Progress. Does anyone have any idea till when I can expect call from HR.
