Interviewing with Apple next week for the roles of Global Supply Manager (GSM) and Worldwide Procurement Analyst in Austin. Does anyone have any tips or advice for the interview? What kind of questions do they ask?
Also, what’s the compensation like in Austin specifically? I would think the compensation would be different than Cupertino. Anyone have any offers or salaries for these positions in Austin?
Bain & Company I’m a PhD student looking to start in consulting and am looking to connect with other PhD/ADP consultants that went into consulting to learn more about the experience and how to prep for case interviews coming from a non-business background. Especially looking for advice on McKinsey & Company, Boston Consulting Group, and Bain & Company
I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Wow - some of these responses are bizarre.
I've done Federal work for 25+ years and ALWAYS post the name of the Agency or Department I've worked for on my resume or LinkedIn as well as the work because everyone RECRUITS based not only on your track record and skill set, but what kind of network you've built.
My biggest repeat clients are DS/DSS inside of DoS, a bunch of parts of Commerce with three turns at NOAA and probably every CoCOM DoD has (sorry, won't EVER refer to them as DoW) as well as a bunch of other DoD components. Most parts of DoJ and DHS with most prominent being three projects inside USCG in the past dozen years.
I even post the AGENCY or DEPT logos on my LinkedIn profile, not the prime or sub I worked for because (AGAIN) people are interested in who you have worked with and the connections your have in the shop
Unless you have been signed to something that EXPLICITLY says you CANNOT say who your terminal client is (e.g. you just say "BAH" not BAH + say, USDA then there is no reason to leave off the name of the client or not discuss them by name in an interview - especially if you aren't working on the high side on anything considered "sensitive"
My projects have gotten national news coverage so since all my work is easily "discoverable" and in the public domain I don't know why anyone would say that it's the normal standard to NOT talk about who you worked with, via whatever consultancy you were retained by
Unless they approved you disclosing, no. There are confidentiality clauses you would have signed as an employee and that would also have been in the contracts between the company and the relevant agency.
In consulting work, the best approach is: Don’t disclose the client’s name without their permission. You can provide a vague description of the client and provide generic description of the work you did.
EXAMPLE: At an office within the broad DOD umbrella, I analyzed and provided solutions to complex architecture challenges.
Because DoD is a huge organization, you can mention them without giving a clue who you really worked for and describing “complex challenges “ you make it sound like difficult work but you don’t give specifics.

If it’s not cleared work, you are free to list the client but not the work itself. I work in classified spaces and all the resumes I see list the client, high level work and what level of existing clearance they have.
