Hey all! Would anyone mind running through some practice cases with me this weekend and next week? I have my final interviews for TD&E at EY next week and unfortunately, I don’t have anyone to help me prepare for the case interview :/ I haven’t done a case in 2 years so I’m a little nervous and want to prepare as much as possible

Hi Fishes,
Anyone here at Luxoft with permanent remote ? I got an offer. Will they ask to come to office at any point ? What about job security at Luxoft ? HR mentioned 8 hours per day and no need to enter timesheet, time will be auto captured. That means like we can't be away from the system at all ? Please help.
Thanks

This is pretty much relevant situation. I have been in similar situation, I worked for decade plus in a large CPG org.
It was pretty hard to switch, as I did not have an external network, it was grow from within company with low attrition at senior levels.
The best bet in this situation is adopting 3 pronged approach, which worked for me -
1. Build a brand for yourself on Linked in, regular posts, engaging with others, increasing the network with relevant people or target audience.
You want to be found!
2. Reach out to ex colleagues or alumni of your school for referrals, might work in some cases, but is hard to find relevant and right levels.
3. Cold mail / msg via Linkedin to hiring manager or recruiters. This is like sowing the seeds, dont expect more than 5-10% reverts. But is an essential one.
Thank you so much for chiming in. I already started building the LinkedIn presence. Not sure I have hit the all the right topics sofar but working on it. Will definitely keep pushing this
You are so right about being more proactive and reaching out to the broader network. I have been hesitant to do it, as I have a great role right now and my company loves me being in this role, however the development perspectives seem to be limited, hence the idea to broaden my view again.
I am really struggling with the idea of cold reach out to hiring managers. Hiring managers for SVP roles are typically Board-1 , on some occasions I was interviewed by one or few Board members. I feel a tad awkward doing cold calls at this level. But it is an awesome idea, that I should comb through my network and try to identify some relevant connections
