Study up on the industry and the companies you are applying to work with. The more knowledgeable you seem about what you are getting into and what their pain points are, the better.

Definitely look into case study interviews and psychometric assessments, from my history this is where most students fail. Try to ask for practice interviews from Alumni or people that work in the organisation too.

First focus on general case interviews and figuring out which companies you want to apply for, then try the case style of your target companies and speak with their professionals to see what their job is like.

I recently interviewed for a position that was below my salary requirements so the interviewer forwarded me a role that is inline with salary but quite a bit outside of my skill set (and interest, tbh). How do I politely reject the opportunity while keeping the door open to other roles more closely aligned with my career goals/interests?

For any of you real estate investors, what tools or sources did you learn from when getting started. Can’t find a mentor currently so want to find some highly recommended books or videos. If focused on the tri-state area (NY, NJ, Long Island mainly) that would be even better. My hope is to buy and rent out a apartment while also owning a house and house hacking that by renting part of it out. Trying to understand all the steps, traps, and how to find if it’s a good investment.
