I am interviewing for an Operational Excellence Program Manager role (non tech). Any advice on how to prep, what types of questions to expect, what resources to use, etc.? Would love to connect and chat with anyone in similar roles as well!

I am on the PgM ladder though not Operational Excellence.

Prep for behavioral questions, have examples, be sure to talk through your thought process and approach to solutions.

What stage of interviewing are you in? Do you have your onsites set up or are you just in recruiter phone screen phase?

I did not get any technical for my role. I got a few open ended but more along the lines of “say cuz happened, what do you do?”

Ask clarifying questions and state your assumptions, tie in your experience

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago. A couple months back, I had an offer for a BDR position that I ended up turning down but I really liked and connected with the manager. Is it worth it to reach out? I applied to other positions in the same company. What about reaching out to previous co workers at a different company? Not sure how to navigate this… please help. Also I’m sorry if this is the wrong bowl to post in.

Any realistic exit options from Cognizant? I’m not having luck switching firms.

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
