Hi all-
I was going to be preparing myself for an interview for a T2 firm. I have about 7 months to prepare for the interview but am overwhelmed by a lot of conflicting advice on how to prepare. I am generally not the best interviewer but am confident of being a good fit for consulting.

I wanted to ask if anyone in a similar position (not great at interviews) managed to overcome this and how. I really want to nail this and am willing to spend a lot of time and energy to put myself through.

What makes you a bad interviewer?

I get nervous. It’s not present when I am at a client oddly enough nor when I have had to do presentations.

In interviews, I just get nervous and just draw a blank.

What’s the level of technicality required for this interview? Is it geared towards cases?

Yes

7 months??

Yeah unfortunately I cannot do it now. There is a personal issue that is blocking me from not doing this now

Uhh is this actually going to happen? I have doubts

I am not sure, but they did mention that they were very interested in continuing the process 7 months from now. I explained my situation and they have been accommodating but likely I will have a chance to interview a while from now.

There is an opportunity that I’m currently interviewing for that is very interesting to me. I’m interviewing two other places but I’m not responding to LinkedIn emails for other positions. The other positions don’t interest me as much. On one hand I don’t want to waste time prepping for all positions and rather put that time only for the ones that I have going on, on the other hand I feel like what is that falls through. Wondering if I’m making the right choice

I was approached on LinkedIn for an early career recruiting role in DFW, TX. I don't have direct experience, but I have the university experience/connections from working in career services. This is the first time I've considered work outside of higher education. I said my salary expectations are minimum $90k and that didn't seem to be an issue. Am I asking too little, too much? How can I know I'm getting the best salary and not just settling at the low end of the range?
