How much work does Strategy& Financial Services (Banking specifically, in USA) do with technology and platforms? What kind of work, with which tech/platforms/tools? I'm interviewing there now and have been asked which tools I am most familiar with, but I have less tool specific experience and more market/customer/operations experience. PwC Strategy&

Which sub group are you applying to? We screen all candidates for the toolsets we use on a daily basis. In general excel + SQL is expected.

Does FS-Banking count as a subgroup?

I don't mean tools like excel you use on a daily basis, I am wondering if S& talks about high level banking strategy but really is focused on IT like Salesforce or whatever else.

Sure - managers will screen you for the tech element while a director/partner will screen you for high level stuff. Be honest about your lack of direct experience but tailor your answers to other firm projects that will translate well to the role

Have a big interview tomorrow. The question I dread the most is about why you’re looking for a new job. The honest answer is that there isn’t enough work to go around at my agency and I want to get ahead of the inevitable layoffs. What’s the best way to tell them this? Do I just make something else up entirely?

5th September is my last working day at Infosys. Yoe=4+ yrs

I hold an offer of 18LPA from KPMG with joining date of 7th September. (Wfh)
I applied at Workday on 15th May and went through 7 technical rounds of interview and received a verbal offer letter of 21LPA (hybrid)
Now apparently their technical panel "forgot" about the interview and wants to have a discussion again as 8th technical interview. HR says their joining date will be 19th September.

I currently work at a large research institution and am in the process of getting retroactively reclassified to a new title (Long story but my PI is cheap and routinely pays ppl the bare minimum so now the Union is helping me w/ a retro reclass.) Reclass can take 2 - 6 months to process. Meanwhile, I am interviewing for industry job. If I get an industry job, what do I do if my reclass isn’t processed yet? I want the title and the money owed which may be about $15000- 20000.
