Interviewing for PwC Audit Manager (currently another Big 4 Audit S3) sometime next week. 2 video interviews back-to-back.

Anyone have any insider info on what to expect? Haven’t interviewed since college. Just not sure what to expect? Typical behavioral questions? Or more conversational? Or dependent on the interviewer?

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Hour long first round interview with a MM consultant friendly PE firm next week — should I expect a model? Or are they likely to fill that hour primarily with behavioral and random technical questions?

Also, if I blow it, is there any risk of burning the bridge with the HH?

I just got my first interview scheduled with SpotOn for an AE role. Any advice? This will be my first AE interview

The job search is so nerve wrecking.

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?

Can I still apply if I'm new to Salesforce ecosystem?

I’m interviewing for a community manager role with a creative agency tomorrow. Anyone have tips specifically for CM/Strategy roles?

Could you please anyone let me know which interview questions asked in Infosys interview for Oracle SQl & Power BI technology ?

There is this big bank where I'd love to work at, and after several interviews for various positions they end up promoting someone from within, even thou I understand it and think it’s good they promote their people, it left me feeling like I'm just being used to comply with the process.

Does anyone have a site/resource they use for coding interview prep? Currently doing practice challenges to refresh my SQL on Hackerrank, but wondering if there's anything better.

Any recommendations to avoid feeling sleep towards the end of the work day? 3-5 PM I start doing the famous head bob if you know what I mean 🤣

Hey Fishes 🐟,

Anyone on here familiar with California’s treatment of a conservation easement deduction for individual taxpayers? I’ve found a bunch of research indicating it’s limited to 30% of AGI, but the people who orchestrated this whole deal think it’s 50% of AGI.

I think everyone on this forum would be really fun to work with compared to the corporate zombies I often interact with. Have you identified other FIRE peers at work? If so, how did you find out and what did you think of them?

How can I approach my boyfriend who has an alcohol problem to help him get healthier ?

Hi everyone, in ds-160 I am not able to fill last 5 years of employment data. After adding two employers the Add Another button is disabled, anyone experiencing the same?

My HR SPOC at Big 4 ( based out of Singapore) told me salary approval for me is done and he is taking headcount approval. Is there any chance head count approval can get rejected? And how much time from here till the final offer letter? Thanks!!

Hi all! I've got an SEO question I'm hoping someone can help with:
How do you choose keywords to target in a blog when you're writing a blog that appears on multiple country specific versions of a given website? Do you use a mix of keywords from each region/country in one blog, or create different versions of the same blog with slight keyword differences based on the country?
Feel free to DM me if you want! thanks in advance from an entry level content marketer. :)

Do we get early pay day, because Diwali? Is Talent that considerate? 🌝

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy. The things I enjoyed the most was getting into the customer’s head and figuring out what they value, which I think I’m pretty good at. I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...

Hey all,
Im looking to pivot my career from industrial design to product design or product management.
At the moment i manage a team of 5 industrial designers for b2b sustainable fashion and retail interiors. The methodologies and processes are quite similar between physical and digital design so i feel i should not start from a junior position, however my portfolio contains only physical. Did anybody else make a similar career switch? Any advice for switching to product is welcome. Thanks!

Best ways to improve leadership skills? Trying to build up the skill set for a PM role and I have next to no manager/leadership experience. What are the do's and don'ts of leading a product team, (or any team) and the traits you'd most want to see or have as a leader?

Got a really nice referral, got interviewed, and haven’t heard back. The anxiety is kinda getting to me because this job can be a huge break for me. I’m a great fit and have the right credentials and all. How do you guys deal with the stress of losing an opportunity or getting rejected?

Thanks a ton for creating this group. I am personally embarking on a 2 year roadmap plan to exit out of mgmt. consulting and pivot to product management.

Thanks for creating this Bowl. Anyone here transitioned from cost engineering into PM? I’m working a internal consulting type of cost engineer role and is seems like a good position to gain skills in that could apply to becoming a PM in the future. I have also worked in design engineering and engineering analysis roles. Have a BS in mechanical engineering and a MS in Data Analytics Engineering.

Hey y’all! Former consultant who is getting off a <1 year career break due to health. Has anyone pivoted to Product marketing from consulting?

If your engineering manager tells you that his team cannot pick up an item from your roadmap because of a lack of capacity or required skill set (different language) what should you as a product manager do?

Do you think Product Marketing Manager roles in industry are a good way to get your foot in the door to product? I have zero interest in marketing but I really want out of consulting. Or should I keep my focus on Product Owner and Product Manager roles and keep networking?

I have been in Product Management even before the term Product Management was so prevalent. I have initiated ideas for new products to align with company strategy and goals, designed and managed the development of the products, and enabled delivery of product to the market. Since most of these are B2B products, delivery would include a phased-production rollout to those customers, based on their roles, locations etc. I have developed both software and data products in the healthcare and social

Hello,
Any advice for someone who wants to break into product management?
Context, i have 10+ years in advertising experience, and founded a startup in 2020 (with a Sr Developer as cofounder) but had to drop the startup for personal reasons (moving to another country) and i really liked building a product and getting technical.
So any advice would help.
