I have 2 YoE and am interviewing for my second job out of college. For the behavioral/PEI portion of the interview, is it appropriate to talk about undergraduate experiences or should I keep it to professional/post-college answers? I’m specifically wondering about questions related to leadership, managing people, and leading teams since I haven’t had the chance to do this in my junior role. Thanks!

Focus mainly on professional but okay to sprinkle in undergrad experiences a little. Show leadership by talking about how you contributed creative ideas and took ownership. Talk about how you influence without authority.

No response whatsoever. Will emailing them again be inappropriate? I desperately need this job

She offered me 6.3 LPA as CTC with 21% variable. 5.2 as basic. Rest part in comments..

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)

Higher offers at 27-28 with more fixed pay is from contract and hire/fire type companies. Mostly indirect hiring instead of direct employment with the final employer, means higher pay with lower jon security - we get little more pay, companies get the option to let go with ease later!

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.
