They will definitely ask you about your knowledge of 13-week cash flow forecasting. Restructuring is a relationship-driven field, and personality/how you present yourself to unusual questions/scenarios and how you would approach them with your thought process on the spot may be very relevant considering that’s part of the every day job. Understand all cash flow implications and how a borrowing base works.

This will also vary depending if your doing more operational or financial restructuring.

What firm?

It's very technical. Not sure what your background is but a firm I interviewed with (not Deloitte) asked very detailed questions about DCFs and LBOs . For some reason, consultants value the DCF very highly.

Ive been using a modeling course at wall street prep to which I got access through my school. I have an interview in a couple of days too but not sure what they would be asking, let me know if you want to exchange tips

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

Hi all -
Sorry for the long rant, but could use advice or just encouragement.

Got laid off for the first time in my career 3 weeks ago. I have 10 years of PM experience (mostly ecommerce & experimentation). I was fortunate in the past to have had recruiters scout me directly so this is the first time in over a decade that I am applying to everything that I’m qualified for, mostly qualified for, and way over qualified for with zero leads. Only 3 interviews thus far that didn’t go forward.

Do most tech/SaaS companies make prospective employees sign NDAs?

I'm hesitant to do so - especially since I am not sure if I even want to work for this company yet. Is this standard procedure?

Is it a red flag if, after almost two years in a full quota carrying and selling role I want to take a lower role at another company in order to break into a field (tech sales) I want to work in? It’s better pay - closer to home and at a company with a better reputation?

Anyone deal with this before: I inherited a severely under developed team including a sr analyst who clearly was doing the bare minimum, if that. Over the last 6 months I have had to coach him and correct simple mistakes in his work and recently it got so bad that I told him he would receive a low rating in his evaluation. He lashed out, involved HR saying he doesn’t understand why, and now my review points out stuff that I would have let slide.

For those of you who are no longer in programs, is the mid-year or final review that determines your bonus? Appreciate any insights!
