Hi, as a Senior Consultant, I’ve been invited to attend a series of interviews with the partners at my firm. The goal is to assess my eligibility for a potential promotion to Manager by the end of the year. Has anyone been through a similar experience? Any tips on how to best prepare? The partners said that they are mainly looking to understand how I envision myself as a future Manager and my understanding of the role’s expectations
Thanks

Talk to current managers to make sure you clearly understand the role. Use your experience from working with both good and bad managers what you see as key responsibilities and leadership attributes/ actions - both internal and outward facing. Assuming you have had some opportunities to manage/coach others, how did that go and what did you learn from it. Assuming that roll puts you in more direction interactions with clients, be ready to address that part of the roll.

Likely you will also get behavioral fit, how would you handle questions, so prepare for those. Good luck!

Do you take the current economy into consideration when receiving job offers? For example you receive a good offer from a company like Meta/TikTok but are hesitant because they could be laying off soon or rescind an offer versus a lower offer at a more traditional and stable company that tends to be less reactionary with regards to layoffs? Not my current scenario but just curious. I would like to make a move from current employer but this economy has me spooked.

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious?

But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
