Have been interviewing with a bank for about a month now. First 4 interviews with the MD & VP went well. Just had an interview now with a VP and the guy was kind of a jerk. Super critical of my background and just generally wasn’t very nice. Does anyone have success stories after one bad round?

Exact same situation, VP tore my resume to shreds. Got the role, he’s actually a good dude and sent me a care package recently

Think about if you’d be happy working for that person. If they’re entitled enough to be a jerk in an interview - it’s going to be much worse when you’re working under them as an analyst.

Once you have an offer in hand - diligence the culture. Talk to junior people on the team to see how they’re liking it, what they’re working on etc. something I didn’t do when I lateraled and lead me to join a new group that was supposed to have a good culture too - turns out it’s pretty toxic

Is this person going to be your direct? If so ask yourself if you want to work that person.

Agree. Sometimes they have other people talk to you just to tic boxes for HR.

Once I had 4 successful interviews then got reamed on my 5th for wearing a sweater and then hired by MD. Think there may some ‘testing’ in interviews to see how you might respond in difficult client interactions.

During interviews, how do you talk about the “result” or “impact” of a consulting project you were on? I know how to talk about the problem/recommendation portion of a sample project but the result/impact, I mean, as consultants we don’t see recommendations executed and actually generating results. So how do you talk about it?
