Yes you can, I’m former MBB tech product. I got staffed on some consulting work and could’ve made a transition but it would’ve taken forever. If it’s your goal, it’s possible through different mediums but will take time

Honestly just watch YouTube videos and get frameworks from google searches.

Currently interviewing at JPMorgan in their CIB division for a associate operations role. Have met with 5 people for two different teams and another person for another team, all of which I believe are 3 total open positions for 3 different teams. Any insight on the interview process or how long it takes or any sort of idea to give me on what I could look for that might help me believe I might get an offer? Checked my online application again recently and still says “In Consideration”

Hi
Can anyone help me how should i explain my project on which i worked in my current company to the interviewer.would be very helpful if someone can help with the basic format from start to end or else can give example of their own project.

Thanks in advance

Is it normal for a big4 to take over two months in the interview process?

Can you use excel during the interviews to do calculations? Figured if it would be virtual it would be easier to do so.
