Hello, has anyone filled in the Forte Fellows Kira video questions?

Are they any different from usual Kira interview questions?

Does anyone have any input on Pacific Northwest National Labratory (PNNL)? I have my first phone interview next week for an instructional designer iii position and am trying to prepare.

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?

Hi all currently i am working as a java developer in a MNC. In my next switch i want to get into a good product based company. What all things and concepts do i need to be strong to clear the interview and work.
Current exp 4 years.

I just had a final round with a company and they’re asking me for details on my other offer (which I mentioned because it moved up my timeline). Should I tell them?

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

How long should I have to wait before applying for a transfer to abroad job in USA in the same company? Currently on a contract role as risk investigator L3 in Amazon

Hi all, I'm trying to break into sales coming from a technical background. It's been very difficult as a lot of recruiters only see the technical aspects of my previous role, even though I've added in some sales aspects from those roles. Any advice on how to break past the initial view of my resume/past technical experiences to get interviews?

Is reaching out on Linkedin the best way to contact a recruiter, or should I look for their professional email?

What do you tell a recruiter asking about other potential offers/interviews? For context, completed my rounds of interviews with this company and they likely want to know my timeline to provide a decision

How long does it take for PwC to send out rejection email? I interviewed with the team like a month ago, the recruiter called me the next day and told me that congrats, everyone likes me and told that they were working on my official offer. 3 weeks later, nothing. I followed up 3 times already and got the answer that I should expect to hear by the end of the week. My last follow up email, no response lol. Should I just move on now?

I've gotten feedback that I'm too honest in my interviews, is that really a con for future employers? 🫤 How do I refrain from doing that anymore?

For people with Non-technical backgrounds who are now Product managers in the Tech industry, what kind of resources did you use to prep for your interviews? I've had people recommend brushing up on cracking the PM code but there's SO MUCH information out there and it's hard to figure out if I'm looking at the right thing or not. Please share resources that helped you get into PM roles (bonus points if you work at companies like Amazon and Google).

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle. Made it to final rounds for Bain and Kearney but in the end didn’t get an offer. I want to recoup and try again, but I’m worried that once I’m out of undergrad the door will be closed to starting in consulting.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.

After how long we will hear back once online test compelted ?

What's the feel for the job market there? I've seen a few interesting openings, and I reached out to learn more about one. But haven't heard anything back.

Hi Fishes,

I am thinking to diverting my career towards freelancing in accounting.
For that I have to resign from my current job in Pwc. I am thinking of starting a job as accountant and work as a freelancer as part-time.

Any thoughts or advice?

Hey Fishes,

Any update on the hike letter ?

Thoughts on drug testing for cannabis in the workplace? Why is it treated different than alcohol?

Looking for job opportunity as business analyst / product management in banking / payments domain. Experience of 5 plus years and understands technology well enough. Please help sharks.

H1B lottery results are out! Let’s update each other here! I’m not sure how much time BAL takes to inform the selected applicants!

Is it true Deloitte is not sponsoring H1B visas? I have a friend considering joining as an SC after MBA. However, they are concerned that Deloitte is not sponsoring. Are these fears correct? How does this work from a recruiting perspective? They would be hired as an off-cycle campus hire via PPMD referral, not within the standard pool of campus hires. Thanks!

I have a hard time articulating and communicating ideas to my team. On top of that, English is not my first language. I’m 27 but sometimes I feel like a jr. How can I empower myself and beat the impostor syndrome ? Do you honestly think that being a woman I have to work twice harder for it?

Why is my Starbucks latte $6.5 bucks all of a sudden 😭😭😭

Do you tip all of your front desk staff the same amount for the holidays? Or… pick favorites?

Possible to break into buy side finance after 1 year MBA at INSEAD, LBS, Columbia Business School, or Kellogg? I have 4 years MC exp and a Masters

For those starting school this fall, how early is too early to start stressing about what you want to recruit for? Am a sponsored consultant but don’t think I want to go back 😬

Is R3 even worth the bother? I have a T15 option but thinking about throwing in another M7 app. Thoughts?

Has anyone else not heard from GSB? It’s literally the first week of March and I haven’t heard back yet. Wonder if this is a bad omen when we’re so close to decisions....

Any GSB admits from previous years that felt the interview didn’t go great?

Anyone who can share their experience with the Harvard Extension School?

Hi everyone,
I was doing a brief overview of GMAT math, and I feel like I need to start studying math from ground 0. Can anyone provide and advice from personal experience, or from that of a friend? My goal is to get into a t-20 MBA program. Thank you in advance! Happy holidays

If we take the GMAT online, does it actually take a full 7 days to get the results? Or do you have unofficial results immediately after?

Going to Wharton in the fall. Is it worth going MBB over returning to big 4 (sponsored)? Is this a common path?

Chin up to all my fellow HBS dings out there. It was a tough year. Congrats to all who were invited! 🍻

How useful is sponsorship as a negotiating lever for full-time roles? I realistically do not see myself going back to consulting after B school. I have to stay for 3-4 more months to keep my sponsorship but starting to seriously consider quitting ASAP

If you’re at B4, would you get any serious consideration at M7s if you tried to matriculate right when you hit the 3 year mark (apply at 2)? I hear that a lot of MBB people do this but the standard timeline for B4 seems to be to matriculate at 4 YOE.

Are sponsored applicants less likely to get scholarship $ since the school knows that $ is likely not a barrier to attending?

M7 part time vs top 25-30 full time for career pivots and network?

Any advice on where to find the best “profile guides” for the top MBA programs? I find that the school descriptions on poets and quants are a bit outdated.

Started as consultant, then promoted to SC. But my responsibilities were pretty much the same. Should I break these out in my resume as two separate roles with separate descriptions?

What are thoughts on Rotman with $$? Debating between that and just wait another year for T15. International student looking for jobs in Canada, 720 GMAT, 3 yoe at big 4

Does Deloitte look a lot better than ACN on b-school apps? Debating if I should take the offer to switch and then apply after.

Did booth say when decisions would be announced for R1?
