Hello…looking for opinions on my situation. I applied for a senior sales position in a completely different industry (stretch target, but worth a try.) The job responsibilities are what I do today so I’m qualified on paper, but their industry experience is “preferred”. I’ve been invited to interview which is great but I’m going straight into a 4-person panel Zoom interview, which includes a couple of senior management people. No BS HR screening call. What’s are your thoughts on this?

Not all companies do an hr or recruiting screening call. I wouldn't overthink it.

Thank your for the feedback.
Just seems an unusual first step, have not seen this before.

Those who do financial modeling at work: for case study in interviews, is it bad practice to submit a model based on a premade template, assuming that I understand all formulas and incorporate my own reasonable assumptions? For reference, I don’t work with fundamental modeling (quant background) so I needed to get a template to teach myself. TIA

Looking for referrals for a Technical Sales Executive position that is Remote (USA), possibly in the industrial sector. Last year I made $109k at AT&T so I'm hoping to at least stay in the same ball park but want a change. I have lots of experience selling IT/telecom, but I also have a Mechanical Engineering background so I'm a good fit for a wide range of technical sales. I have been thinking a role in the industrial sector with a longer sales cycle may be a good fit, can travel up to 25%

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.
