Really depends on the case and where it's coming from. MBB was much harder than those at boutiques in my experience.

Regardless of the difficulty, I promise you'll do better if you're in a better state of mind. Try to relax beforehand and put yourself in a mindset to think clearly and understand it's ok to take time to answer a question. I try to remember that it's just a job and there are more important things to stress over, but everyone has their own style.

thank you for the reassurance!

How to case interviews even go? I’ve never had to do one. What is their purpose?

Hi, I'm an artist with 5 years of experience in the game developmentindustry.

After interview sessions, it comes to salary negotiation. To my surprise, the salary offer is below industry average, even more like junior-level salary.

Though my experience includes team leadership and I have described in detail how I could contribute to the company, the interviewer raised the offer, adding $300 only, still in junior salary range.

What does it really mean, and how do I win the negotiation?

TIA.

Hi, 4 months back I have attended Deloitte interview and after submitting pre hire survey, my profile was on hold and now I have received pre hire survey again, is there any possibility that profile will be processed to offer?

Is there irony in the fact that HR and leadership of sales organizations ghost candidates? The very people that stress over prospects disappearing turn around and do the same thing to people they've interviewed 2, 3, or more times.

Need job advice:

I recently got an offer at a prestigious company making almost double what I make now (OTE). It is also a promotion on the job title which will help for long term career prospects.

The only downfall is I also have a final round interview with literally my dream job later this week.

The company who gave me the offer wants an answer before Thanksgiving. Do I take the good offer and run with it? Or do I roll the dice at the chance at my dream job?
