Hi! Interviewing with the HR at Strategy& for the financial services- senior associate position. Wanted to get a better understanding of the types of projects the team usually works on- I come from an internal consulting background in Fin Services so wanted to get a better understanding to highlight my most pertinent experience! Appreciate the help.

I interviewed there - seems like their focus is around Growth strategy / CDD, Cost optimization and enterprise strategy. I’m sure there’s others, but the recruiting team will really want to know what “pure strategy” experience you really have. Feel free to DM with any questions on the process

Feeling really nervous, help! I’ve been using topical hydroquinone 4% since before I found out I was pregnant.

Have any of you used this while pregnant and it turned out fine? Any other insights that can give me some peace of mind? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

1. How much will be in-hand salary?
2. Is there any hidden component which may deduct from my salary?
3. How variable pay will be paid? monthly or quarterly or annually?
4. How much variable pay we will get by Average?
