A BCG recruiter ghosted me after she reached out to schedule an interview. How long should I wait before following up? What is the common courtesy to give to ppl at BCG. I don’t wanna come off as too aggressive but I really need to get this interview set as there are other pending confirmations Boston Consulting Group
Anyone recently received a tax manager offer from EY ? I’m going through final interviews and want to see what your experience was like (negotiation process, initial offer higher/lower than expected?, did you give them a salary expectation range? How long did it take from final interview to offer etc) TIA!PwC EY KPMG Deloitte

Finally found THE one, after over a year of searching and trying out at least 5 different ones!
A nice comfortable office chair.

My criteria: mesh seat and back, arms, headrest
I tried cheap ones from Amazon. Expensive, second hand gaming chairs. Tried HM Aeron (second hand) and while I didn't like the bulk and the general design, I was sold on the mesh seating. I wanted to get the ErgoChair 2 from autonomous, but it doesn't have mesh seat.

And a plan to manage it in a corporate way

Can you provide the industry? It'll help me answer. I've been in a few internal/corporate strategy roles.
So start from the basics, and this is applicable to most firms:
- company: what is the general history of the company, what are the revenues and stock price, geographic distribution
- product/service: what do they offer and what's key, how do they sell it (spoiler alert: I found out mid interview last year that I don't really understand ad sales), why do they sell it this way, and thinking forward - what would you recommend they change, what does that involve (investments, partnerships, etc)
- competitors: who are they, when and why do they matter, can they disrupt the business and what are mitigation strategies, why would someone prefer your interviewer over them or vice versa. And at a higher level, what's the industry composition and what are the dynamics there... how easy is the business to disrupt (think investment vs. existing network effects, and other topics)
You should similarly think about customers.
Also read the role description to get an idea of the projects they do and think about why the are important. They are probably either things that have been done by this team, or will be done (possibly by you). Coming with an informed perspective on how you could tackle some of these helps.
And of course all the behavioral questions, as usual.
I can try to talk you through a more specific role via DM but ultimately you're there to help set the direction of the company or help answer some big questions that help inform the C-suite decisions (or BU decisions)
