Make sure you don't ask any questions as that shows big weakness 😉

5 days is plenty! Practice 3-4 a day and I’m sure by the time you have your interview, you’ve already gotten used to how it works and how to think and approach it! E z p z

Agree - 5 days is enough to make huge differences in your performance. Get the basics dialled: understand the process and what they are evaluating on. Structure your thoughts and go-in with confidence.

5 days is plenty of time to get used to doing cases. Get a few buddies to help you out and do a few cases with you every day until the interview day. You’ll get to a comfortable place 10-15 cases, but you likely won’t get comfortable with all case types (growth strategy, M&A, business case, tech/implementation, etc.)

Recently started going through the interview process. I ended up going through 2 interviews in about a week. After the first interview I heard back the following day saying that they wanted to meet for a second one. It’s been about 4 days now since the second interview, which felt like it went great, and still haven’t heard anything. Am I being impatient or should I have heard back by now? I already sent a thank you message after the second interview, should I try to follow up again?

How long did it take you to find a new role once you committed to a job change? We are expecting our organization to change directions and our team need to make some changes. While I plan to make the change proactively rather than being laid off, I am also looking at my savings account to make sure I have adequate funds in case I get surprised. Thank you for your advice! I also welcome any firms to look at for ERP, Oracle preferred, consulting, implementation, and support.

Hi all, I’m in need of some career advice. Not sure where to direct my attention. I know that I don’t enjoy consulting, but I’m also fairly confident that I don’t like strategy.

I also enjoy working with others frequently and finding a solution together, instead of having individual workstreams. I can hold my own in front of a crowd as long as I’m confident in...
