Hi all, looking for some career advice: applied to a consulting firm on Feb’22. Got great feedback but didn’t get selected. I had some conversations with a partner she told me “you were great, we are just small right now”.

A couple weeks back they’ve opened their process again, I reached out to HR and I am interviewing. Question is: would you reach out to the partner? What would you say? I don’t know if I should message an FYI or something so that she knows I’m still interested. Pls help!!

I would message the Partner. Also, partners interview a lot of candidates and it would be worth mentioning something striking from your previous conversations so that they can remember who you are ( how good you were in the last interview ).

Thanks for sharing your view SM1, i will try to custom the message as you suggested!

Since you already are familiar with the principal, it is perfectly acceptable to send her a brief email saying you enjoyed meeting her when you previously interviewed with the company and that you are presently in the interview process with them again. If she was keenly interested in you she will take action. Good luck.

Thanks so much for sharing your view, I think that is a great way of voicing it!

I interviewed at Amazon for a PM role in Dec. 2020 and was ultimely rejected. I was told I have to wait a year to reapply. Fast forward to June 2022, another recruiter reaches out to me re: a PM role. I pass the screening interview, and move on to the virtual on site interview stage. I randomly get a call from the recruiter telling me there is now a TWO YEAR reapply policy in place so I'm not eligible to interview for any PM roles until Dec. 2022. Anyone ever heard of this policy? Seems strange

I’m in big law and on the cusp of making the jump to in-house. It sounds like the company I just interviewed with is getting ready to make me an offer.

I’m so burnt out by big law and this seems like an awesome opportunity to help shape a newish company. Any tips on how to figure out if this is the right move for me?

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter?

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.
