Hi! Had an introductory interview and the next step is to have two 30 minutes interviews with senior counsels of the department the position would be in. I asked recruiter on what to expect and they said it’s just going to be behavioral questions and nothing really to prepare for. Obviously I want to prepare - any thoughts on what these questions could be? Googled some of the most asked behavioral questions but would like to have input form real experiences. TIA!!

It could be anything from hypothetical scenario questions to just a casual conversation about yourself, your life, hobbies, etc. I’ve been on both ends of the spectrum when interviewing. Regardless of what you get, just relax and keep it conversational.

I was asked more general questions about my background and experience in the second interview with direct bosses. It wasn’t until the in person interview with the team that I was asked more behavioral stuff, like how I handled competing deadlines/multiple stakeholders knocking on my hypothetical (I’m remote) door, my task management style, and how I handled counterparty issues (among others but these are the ones I remembered).
Just make sure you turn it into a conversation instead so it’s not an interrogation, it makes them and you more comfortable and you more likely to get through to the next stage.

Jump ship or stick it out? I’m a 31 y/o SFA with a Fortune 100 and am learning absolutely nothing. I have 9 years FP&A experience. All we get is busywork and no real opportunity to grow or take a more challenging role since they’re dying for SFAs. Do I stick it out for an eventual Manager role so I can be more marketable to a future employer, or try to pivot out of Finance to a new type of role and company now? Interested in more operations related work.

Need a sanity check here.

When I joined my current company, we were on a quarterly bonus structure with guaranteed payouts each quarter. This was, in fact, how the recruiter said he could meet my salary request.

The company just announced we are moving to annual payouts only, with no payments for 2023 until May 2024. There are no raises happening.

This amounts to 12% less money in my pocket in 2023 plus inflation.

Is this standard, or should I be looking for opportunities elsewhere?
