Which team? EI, TRS, Digital?

Your case will be pretty standard. Make sure you understand how financial statements are constructed.

TMT here, what level are you interviewing for?

Happy to help, a few suggestions:

* our interview process is a bit different, make sure you know what you got yourself into (your HR rep should be available to walk through this)

* case in point is rather rudimentary, I’d study it along with victor cheng to start. Really though, you need to get good at developing your own frameworks, understanding variables, and testing hypotheses - the best thing you can do is practice with an experienced partner

* the skills you’ll get from typical case practice are very transferable, I’d add our written case typically will require you know your way around operational performance, reporting, and some financial statement analysis

* more so than case practice, focus on understanding what we do and whether your experiences and career goals are a good fit - the interview process is longer than others and I get the feeling it’s mostly about testing for cultural fit

* if you have any other specific questions about the process, the work, or tmt im happy to dm or chat whenever

Just got a job offer but they are only giving me until Monday afternoon to decide. I'm currently in process at several other firms and the recruiter said they can't/won't give extensions. How bad is it for me to accept and then decline if I get another offer? The other companies would be paying 15-30k more and I feel like that's way too much to give up especially right out of school. I emailed the other companies I'm interviewing with to see if the process could be expedited and (1/2)

Okay so I’m a newly licensed attorney in a very conservative part of TX. I just got my first job offer and I was worried at first thinking that I was in “Trump” territory, but I tested the waters in my interview and spoke about police injustices and how prosecutor’s job is not only to protect victims, but also defendants from police injustices. I have to let them know by tomorrow, but thoughts on if this is a good career move for someone who wants to work in transactional work-RE or Bankruptcy?

Fellow enterprise tech sales fish, I’m interested to hear your perspective. I’ve been in a rut lately and seriously considering leaving sales. I think it’s primarily fueled by one thing:
After a 6 mo cycle I closed a large deal (4x the average deal size) prior to receiving delayed 2022 comp plans. The deal counts as a 2022 deal. On last years comp plan it would’ve paid out at 10%. This year it pays out at a measly 4%.

How do you/have you navigated your way through and out of these situations?
