Hi all,
I recently received an interview for investment consultant role. I am wondering if this is a junior position? Also, if anyone can help provide any tips for interview preparation would be much appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Investment consulting is different than strategy / management consulting. It’s usually providing investment advisory for institutions (endowment & foundations, pensions, family offices). You evaluate fund managers and tell clients which funds you think are best to invest in. Haven’t interviewed at Mercer before but would just Google / prep for questions like how you would choose a fund for a portfolio.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

Wondering what other Business Analysts make? And what should I be making, I have been in this role for 1 year now

I am interviewing for a new IT Manager position. I started putting out soft feelers and then hit the hunt harder. The problem: I have one offer and need to give an answer by next Wednesday. I have two other opportunities that are in final steps but probably won’t have offers by next Wednesday. Both of the other offers will be higher pay but clearly are uncertain for offers. Do I accept the offer I have, which is a good one or wait for the other two to finalize and possibly miss out altogether?
