Had the worst interview experience this week for an industry role. Recruiter sent me wrong webex link, interviewer 15 mins late, on her phone as I’m talking, and then giggling as I’m talking

Posted this in another thread, copying to here.

I had an interview with Stout Risius Ross in undergrad for due diligence and they were total cocks. They ask a bunch of those “I am so smart” questions and nothing related to due diligence.

One question I got was “when it is 3:20 PM, what is the angle between the hour and the minute hand?”

The idea being you realize the hour hand is influenced by minute hand movement. Shit like that. Not a full case, just several semi-complex questions.

Did fine on the interviews and stupid questions, just really didn’t enjoy the dude asking irrelevant shit and dicking around on his phone the entire time. His cuff links were pink LEGO bricks and had the asshole “white collar blue shirt” thing going.

I like the clock question- just tried to do in my head - is it 20 degrees?

I would politely inform the HR manager and withdraw. You don’t want to work for assholes that don’t respect you.

Yeah 20 degrees -> (360/12) * (1-(1/3))

You are in bro.. believe me or not. The 2 jobs that I switched in past 6 years were the worst interview.. I was never satisfied with my answers and was regretting over weekend that why didn’t I prepare well.. Monday got a call that I am selected 😀

Wonder if I should tell the HR Manager? Bc now I’m inclined to withdraw

Interviewed at Deloitte, PwC and EY for Advisory Senior Consultant role. Deloitte offered $105K (plus $5K bonus), PWC offered $127K (plus $15K bonus) and EY offered $155K (plus $10K bonus). Surprised with the difference in pay between Deloitte & EY for same role. Is Deloitte Advisory paying less compared to other firms? 4.5YOE in Consulting.

FL peoples: I signed a lease for a new place to start May 1 as my current landlord sold the unit I'm in. Turns out, the buyer wants to keep renting the unit and asked if I want to stay. Of course I want to stay. My new lease hasn't started so I'm pretty sure I can easily back out. For the new lease, I'm still pending full approval from a condo association as I have to do an in person interview. I have paid first months rent in advance. Is there anyway to get that money back?
