I was a lateral. It was exactly the same. Two rounds, two cases each round. With the final round including a written case.

All five interviews were with partners

Heard it's exactly the same

Still have to case. Much more talk about industry specific experience and hard transferable skills. Rare to lateral as a pure generalist. What's your niche?

Lots in Ops. Less time in others -- pricing, M&A, corp strategy

Anyone know of orgs with an emphasis/value teaching and learning?

My friend is working for a non-profit, has lots of transferable skills, and is willing to learn…but his job applications haven’t gained much traction. I think it’s because he’s looking to move towards a more corporate org and those recruiters don’t necessarily know what to make of his past experience.

Hello recruiters! How do you feel about people reaching out to you directly on LinkedIn?

I’ll post a draft note of what I was thinking in the comments so you get a sense of how I would approach this.

thanks in advance for any advice.

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA
