How important is it to write a Thank You note after an interview?

Popped a xanax before an interview, what a mistake that was. Sometimes, anxiety is good.

Has anyone given interview in Daimler for data engineer? Can you please help what kind of questions they ask in the first round?

Hi All,
Can anyone give me some pointers on the interview process for data engineering role in PepsiCo?

Does anyone know is aware how much time Globant takes to release offer letter after finishing all the interview rounds?

Feeling super low. Went through final rounds at 2 companies. The hiring teams sent multiple notes saying they are very impressed only to be told later that the job position is on hold. Back to square1

For experienced accounting professionals considering a transition into a career with solid work/life balance, a fast-growing biotech company near San Francisco is hiring for a SOX Compliance Manager and Senior Accountant/Manager roles. Roles pay well over $100k.

Generous benefits, fun company culture, and VERY favorable stock options. Message me if interested, and I will try to screen you for an interview!

4YOE @Amazon & trying to lateral to a similar role @FAANG. Have my undergrad GPA (3.8/4) on resume from top 15 school but colleague says to take it off (looks silly). If it’s a good school & high GPA, why ever take it off your resume? Even if 10 YOE...can’t hurt?

Is it worth it to go back to school for a better track to a FAANG company? The division I’m currently in seems like there are no good opportunities, and I have the funds available to finish my undergraduate full time (Canada). I applied to Amazon before for a highly senior position and made it to final interview so I think I would have a better chance for a new grad type role.

having one too many career moves on your resume is a devastating obstacle to overcome. so be thoughtful about your choices so you don’t end up like me :(

I recently moved to Toronto from New Jersey. I’ve been applying with little success. I have a background in healthcare, non-profit, and public health. Any advice on what company I should apply to?

Got offered a role at a Middle East office at BCG - haven't accepted yet.
Anyway that I can transfer to a north American office (my current location) before I join? SO can't move to Dubai and while applying they didn't interview me for my current location just for the Dubai one.

I understand this may be a big ask, and I'm happy to interview again if need be.

How to get an interview with Kroll? I'm currently a third year audit manager with Deloitte and Kroll's consulting practice sounds interesting. Does anyone know how to go about getting an interview? Should I just apply on the website?

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didn’t respond when I gave her my availability. I followed up. We scheduled a phone call (she said she’d call) and then she didn’t call! At this point, I’m thinking they’re totally disorganized. Is this common practice? I’ve never dealt with a recruiter so I don’t know.

How does recruiting for Tech (FAANG) work?

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA

McKinsey 🐟: does your ops practice heavily prefer people with practical experience instead of current operations consultants from other firms? As an ops consultant from another firm, what would be the best way to lateral into mck ops?

If you were offered a job at a great agency but working on just one brand, but it was a big one like Nike or McDonalds, would you do it? Being siloed sucks, but maybe worth it for a big account?

Hi everyone Today is my tcs doj and I got a mail from my onboarding manager that your doj is postponed please connect with your recruiter.
What might be the reasons.

I am going to move in the next few month to a location with a higher cost of living due to personal circumstances. I love my current company but I’ve only been here a little over a month, how should I go about requesting if it’s possible to get a salary increase? Might be a stretch but thought it might be worth mentioning.

Any tips to crack the Mckinsey Problem solving game. Can I use a referral at this stage?

Thoughts on uneven bridal parties? I would have 5 vs my fiancé having 3 people.

Can someone please refer me in ntt data

I’m trying to hop on the busy season train. But today I have literally laid beside my laptop to wiggle my mouse and keep my status green. I’m just not ready for this mentally yet. I know it’s bad.

How do I start the divorce process? Do I have to get a lawyer? Help...!

2 friends from college just stayed up with me for 4 hours to make last minute edits to my horrid Wharton essays. Admit or ding I’m grateful to have friends like this in my life.

My wife is in sales at Mercedes and she has been averaging $200k a year and growing YoY. She loves her job, however she works long days and barely gets time off. We plan on having kids within the next year or two, and it’s highly u likely that she’ll be able to keep her current gig. We want to find a career that allows her to work remote or that at least gives her a better work life balance so that she can see her kids grow up. Should she get certifications to give her a shot at adtech?Too late?

What are the best and easiest EMBA programs to get into?

Apple

Pros:
- astounding financial benefits, great healthcare

Cons:

- too many cultists
- closed culture with extremely compartmentalized information, working on a small piece of the puzzle, with reduced ability to demonstrate true value, unless already high up. 
- collaboration across teams is made unusually difficult and doesn’t seem encouraged.
- not remote friendly -- making everyone go back

Hi ZSers,
Anyone looking for a male flatmate or looking for a flat? I have to move in before 18th of July. Any leads would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Fishes, what is the base for 1yr experience AC currently?

Which agency did Axe’s ‘readjusting won’t be easy’ spot? It’s not 72 is it?

Is anyone else unable to change their title on comments? It switches to my company and won’t let me change it to anything else.

It’s hard to be motivated when rounds of layoffs happen and you see all your friends leave. But one thing that’s gotten me through all of this is working out. And when I say workout I mean the most pathetic, sad, barely completed beginner-level cardio dance routines. I’ve somehow forced myself to move while on lockdown and it’s somehow forced me to feel better. Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️

Do agencies rent spaces out in places like WeWork to give teams some autonomy away from the office?

O&M Creative: more shuffling still to come? And by shuffling, I mean layoffs too.

If you live in LA, dm me for secret wineries in SB county that will blow your mind. I’ve literally been to all and give you the goods and they are so close and life’s too short to drink crap wine!

Thank you all for existing on Fishbowl and for being such a supportive community. It’s been a difficult year, but at the end of the day, I’m glad to have people to commiserate/celebrate with ❤️🙂❤️

Been asked to present my current client’s plan and PCA in second interview for a role. Am I being over cautious by not feeling comfortable with this?

Adoptable dogs on beer cans: copy or coincidence?

Motorworks Brewing in Florida did this years ago, and now Uncommon just did the exact same thing for Brewdog beer.

Straight up plagiarism imo. Literally search "adoptable dog on beer can" and the Motorworks stuff comes up, so not googling the idea beforehand is not an excuse.

a weekly - or biannual at the rate I’m doing it - reminder to people looking to hire talent: rejection letters after phone, video, or in person interviews are so much better than absolute silence

Yo, can we all just chill? About you know, everything?

Are there any agencies where creatives actually have good work-life balance in LA, SF or anywhere else for that matter? Like no weekends or no working more than a 40-50hr week? Or do I have to go in house for this? Or do I have to leave advertising altogether?

I feel like I’m either getting burnt out by work or trying to heal myself from it. There’s never much time for real life and I don’t want to be on my death bed reminiscing like, “Wow, I made some cool ads.” Nothing scares me more.

How many months in is it normal to hate a new job vs you've given it a long enough chance to know it's a wrong fit?

How did your agency handle layoffs? All-agency meeting before they started? After they ended? Both?

Kinda sorta trying to predict if I’m losing my job tomorrow.

Wieden guys, what's your opinion on the non american/non european W+K offices. How offices like tokyo, shangai and sao paulo are perceived within the network?

Anyone have a recommendation for books or resources on upping my sales game? Open to in person class, online class, books, etc!
