How much does it matter if your job title sounds unimpressive? I manage huge budgets and people, but my title is “Operations Analyst.” Should I explain that somewhere in my app or just let my resume speak for itself?

Ask your recommender(s) to speak to this.
And include lines on your resume that note the size of the budgets and number of people (perhaps even what functions they are in) you mangage.

The evaluation isn't about your title...it's about the experience you have and the contributions and impact you've made.

Last year I worked with someone whose title was 'Executive Assistant.' They are now a first year at Columbia Business School!

For questions as to why you are looking to leave your current firm.. I am looking to move because for some reason I am hand-held a lot and given simpler tasks, so I am getting bored and want more challenging / much more fast paced environment. Also kind of bored because I am on one project for a long time and I want exposure to variety of projects. Is this a fair answer or would I be seen as arrogant? Is there a better way to frame my answer?

Interviewing question: for anecdotal “tell me abt a time when..”, & similar questions - are you allowed to recycle stories from your undergrad years or do they only look for post grad/work stuff? Afraid some of the stories that sounded okay at undergrad recruiting might now come across as a bit “lightweight” in this context...like would they eye roll if we start talking about that one time we did a science competition sophomore year of college (even though it taught an important lesson)..etc.🤔
