How long is realistic to prep for a ladder transfer pm interview? Would a weekend be sufficient?

Really depends where you're starting. I'd have planned for weeks, not days, unless I already had a sufficient product and technical background.

That's a very different skillset. If someone with no consulting experience, but a few years of faang PM experience was interviewing with MBB, do you think they would master case interviews in a weekend?

If you've already researched the criteria for success, and you are confident you can do it in a weekend, then feel free to give it a shot.

I’m interviewing for a start up and the role sounds interesting. Usually for the “test” part of the interview I’ve had to analyze data. This company wants me to develop a growth strategy that outlines key initiatives for growth, different opportunities, experiments I’d run, KPIs, and working cross-functionally.

Is this a lot for an interview?

I’m a little afraid of doing all this work to then just have them take my ideas and not hire me.

Advice needed - boyfriend has almost 3.5 years of finance experience at a bank. Interviewed for PwC valuation senior associate and now recruiter says they want to hire him at “experienced associate” because he has no valuation experience. Is this too big of a step backwards in career? Should he push back and see if it gets him anywhere? If he does accept Associate, is it reasonable to ask for written, definitive timeline (1 year?) for promo to Senior upon meeting standards? Help!
