I'm looking to find a job like the Forward Deployed Engineer role Palantir Technologies in the UK.
I have become hooked on finding a job that involves solving the kinds of problems they presented during their interviews. Although I got to the final round my performance anxiety got the better of me (I think I wanted the job a bit too much...). I will reapply after working in a similar company.
Is it "deep tech" / "data science" or "smart enterprise" that they're doing? Any advice welcome.
Bain & Company Bain & Company Do you have any insights into what they are expecting in the second (last) round? I saw that there are two cases and a presentation. Are they more interested in professionalism than the "analytical" skills assessed in the first round? Do you have any more insights into the presentation?
Many thanks in advance

Why are you leaving or Why did you get laid off
Mentor
Have meaningful questions about the firm, office, and practice group ready to go. Something that shows you've done your research and want to know your fit.
Enthusiast
What made you apply to this firm?
Can you think of a time that you made a mistake, and how did you learn from it?
Address any red flags at the beginning of the interview.
Have thoughtful questions ready for them. Be sure to research each interviewer and know the type of work they do.
I always do a mock interview with my candidates!

Unnecessary
Stay positive about your prior firm and that it was a good experience, even if you didn’t mean it. They will ask about why leaving now
Tell a story of why you went to the first firm, what you learned and what you want at your next place and why it might be a good fit.
If you’re firm is firing people and you weren’t, be open and honest that you werent fired and your commuted to improvement/next career steps in the face of firings.
Partner 1 is spot on - be able to talk about your experience, but also be able to explain “Why this firm,” “what makes you want to go there,” and then I would have some questions for each interviewer.
I just lateraled and had 16 total interviews. In a few interviews the interviewer led the discussion, but in call backs, it was pretty much me asking questions to show I had done research on each individual / the work the firm does (I’m litigation, but I had callback interviews with corporate partners / patent prosecution patterns etc).
LinkedIn premium had a great list of questions to prepare for in an interview as well. I didn’t really get substantive questions, but I got a ton of “how do you train juniors” or “give an example of a recent situation you had a problem / roadblock and how you solved it.” The ole “tell me about yourself” was also basically the intro to every interview.
Honestly prepare for curve ball questions that are dumb “what was the most complex deal you had and how did you overcome it”
