I have a first round at Oliver Wyman as an experienced hire coming up (for their London office), in their M&A operations practise. Any tips on what to expect and how to prepare?

The experienced hire interviews seem to be slightly more rigorous than the undergrad ones. Maybe run through a couple practice cases to refamiliarize yourself with the process. For M&A I would brush up on my P/L and McK M&A frameworks but be flexible, at this level they will absolutely dock you for pulling out a pre-baked framework. In the fit portion expect some pointed questions about your reasons for switching jobs and what about OW attracted you.

Good luck, OW is a great place that wants people who are excited to be here. Be sharp, be enthusiastic, and you have nothing to worry about.

Hi everyone. I’m a front end software engineer.

How would you approach asking the recruiter if there are any SWE openings I could be considered for instead ?

In my mind, I don't recall being told this and it's not clear from my employment contract, so I feel like they're breaking our agreement, and it feels unfair.
