I believe I'm getting my offer from a senior person at Boston Consulting Group (Platinion) tomorrow after multiple interviews. What should I expect on the call? Is it still hard-hitting interview questions? Or just a casual conversation about the offer and compensation package? Do I negotiate? Thanks for any insights!

If you’re actually getting an offer it will be a chill conversation. That would not be the correct time to negotiate though. Just gather the details so you can put a story together if you need to negotiate.

Just a casual conversation. Save the negotiation and tough questions for HR when they send you the official offer letter.

Whatever the package is walk in their knowing your worth 20% more…

Then ask for 30% more than what they offer you.

If you fail your still up? Or they don’t budge and you have pissed the partner off before joining.

Is there any advantage to telling a company you are interested in working for in the future where you decided to accept an offer from? Or does it not matter?

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

For a number of places, I have indicated that I am looking for a remote position, which is maybe a negative.
