I am interviewing for a strategy consulting firm. A partner who did not like me from my firm has moved there. There is no correlation in our plans, just a coincidence. The firm is a big 4. The practice will be large but he will unfortunately be in it. What should I do?

If I get the offer my comp upside is high. I just have to avoid him.

Unfortunately he knows everything regarding my personal history including one project where there was conflict.

Be confident

Unfortunately this person was my coach, and they know a bit too much. Pray for me.

Ya just gotta show them you changed bro
