Hjelp 😭 I have an interview on Monday for a research and advisory firm, and before the interview they want me to pick out a tech article to discuss. What exactly are they looking for here? What kind of article should I chose?

Don't take my word for it, but given it's a research and advisory firm I imagine it's important for them to be on top of what is new, trendy, making and impact in the industry. So anything that has information that could help another tech company find the latest solutions. Cloud and cyber security are hot topics.

Agreed. And make sure you have your own opinion and analysis take on macro and micro themes. They’ll be evaluating your critical thinking skills. I’ve interviewed many folks where that aspect of process was difficult for them.

helpful

Or take a look at the non-trendy. Spotting signs of downturns or potential problems are important too.

If you have any expertise that your resume did not highlight… pick an article about that subject.

And practice, practice, practice your messaging about the article. What do you want them to understand ?

You are picking one article, but what is the context.. the problem space… the market they this article is talking about ? How much revenue is estimated for the market ? Who are the market leaders or is this a green field ?

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.
