Happy Holidays!

I had an interview for a civilian attorney position with a military branch JAG office 2 weeks ago today. I think the interview went really well. The three individuals I interviewed with kept saying they liked my responses to their questions, and I figure they didn't need to compliment me, so maybe that's a good sign. I'm wondering if anyone knows how long one may have to wait to hear back from these offices? I'm anxious. And yes, I have followed up since😊

Hi fishes,

Had an interview with Hexaware and 3 days back HR1 called me and said she will send the offer letter next week. 2 days back HR2 called me and said a client interview is scheduled for you and I attended that. Now if I fail to clear the client interview round, will I not receive the offer letter that is promised by the HR1?

Trying to transfer audit to fdd as a senior. How long can I expect workday application to remain ‘under review’? Waiting to hear back after HR screen on next steps. Thanks !

Been at a “top 5” agency for 2 years now and haven’t produced a single piece of work that I feel is book worthy. Granted, there is the whole global pandemic thing. But at what point do you start looking for a new job? Is 2 years long enough to at least get some cred for the name on the resume, despite not making anything great?

Hello Fishes,

May I know what all the topics will be covered in the first round of interviewfor the role of "Data Analyst" in Comcast Company...

Thank you 😊

Do LinkedIn skills endorsements mean anything? Has any recruiter said... "Whoa! She's got 47 people that think she's a great writer... we gotta get her in here!" ?

Is it fair to say I hate recruiters more than lawyers?

Is it weird when a 3rd party recruiter you’ve never met constantly calls you out of the blue? No set up...no “hey are you free at noon?” Just random phone calls while I’m at work.

general question, about how long after submitting an online application should one assume that they aren’t getting an interview?

Next week I’m having my first lateral interview as a junior associate. I’m very nervous because the group with whom I’m interviewing works with life science/tech clients and the attorneys have strong science/tech backgrounds; and I do not. However, I am very, very interested in transitioning to this practice. And I reaaally want this job because it’s at my dream firm. How would you recommend preparing for the lateral interview?

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

Crushed my final two interviews today. I will hear back sometime next week for a verbal offer for a Tech Solutions Consultant on the xWS team. Leaning towards an L4 but maybe they give L5 if the interview feedback was as good as I thought it went. Any thoughts on how I should negotiate base and equity? Maybe ask for sign on too?

Anyone at BCG willing to take a look at my resume/ cover letter?
