Going to ask a potentially dumb question but here goes. When going through and interview, what exactly is the value of knowing a firms CEO and their revenues? Because I’d wager most employees don’t know…

I asked my interviewer at PWC “how does the New Equation strategy tangibly impact your teams work?” and they weren’t able to answer because they didn’t know what it was.

Hahahah god bless, reminds me of when I was doing the last round with a senior partner (pre BCG) and I mentioned how inspiring the stated strategy was [insert 10 year inspiring & impossible goals], to hear a genuinely curious “Very interesting - can you tell me more” 😂😂

Absolutely 0 value. Its one of those dumb tests designed to show you "care"

For most teams, the large strategy doesn’t mean much. Their work is insulated since they are still going to deliver the same kind of projects.

What will change for orgs is which practices get additional investments, what companies they acquire, and the messaging to clients across the firm.

This is my first job in a large corporate company, and I’m trying to gauge how long it normally takes to move from entry level to another internal position in the insurance industry. I have been applying internally for a year now and I am wondering if this is normal or if my company is just slow? I am a top performer, with great metrics, and I have some wonderful connections I’ve made who support me. I just can’t seem to move up. How long did it take you to move up? How many tries did it take?

I’ve been interviewing for new positions to leave PA. But in my current position, we’ve been adding quite a few new projects (and our team is partner, two staff, and me) that will probably start over the next couple of months. I don’t think my boss has any idea I’m looking to leave - anything I should do to not feel guilty about potentially leaving them short staffed with a ton of work? Is this something you think about when looking to leave?
