I have an interview for a Principal Renewals Manager role at Slack/Salesforce this Wednesday and I was hoping for some advice on how I can wow them? Ive done a lot of research and made loads of notes but get very nervous in interviews and dont always articulate how I would want to / say everything I want to cover. It also doesnt help that the job im in at the moment makes me absolutely miserable and im desperate to leave… help!

While this will sound cliche— being your confident authentic self will be your strongest attribute. In a lot of these roles, the skills can be taught, character cannot. Be yourself, be very prepared to share appropriate examples when you are undoubtedly asked to do so. And don’t be afraid to ask the questions you really want to know. Some HMs don’t like this portion of the interview, but I love seeing what kinds of questions are asked. It lets me know how serious a candidate truly is and what they’ve thought about in their preparation.

Finally— remember whether you are a “fit” goes both ways. Most candidates are solely focused on impressing the interviewers they don’t think about taking much time to observe and take stock of the process. Were you happy with everyone’s professionalism? Did you feel like you were in an environment where you could speak your mind?

Best of luck to you— you got this!

Have interviews set up at FAANG co and getting good signals, for a position that was posted widely (all across US) but not remote. Haven’t broached the subject of location yet. Would you (1) early on clearly state that you’re not open to relocation but that you would be open to visiting a big office once or twice a month; (2) not say anything now and wait to get an offer and ask for an exemption; or (3) something else?

I recently accepted a job that I quite overqualified for because I’m in need of a job. I got hired as a Marketing Manager and work directly with the Marketing Director. Come to find out my director is still in school and has absolutely no marketing experience. She’s been with the company for 4 months. They seem to want to utilize my complete skills set and make up for her lack of marketing knowledge but maintain her position as director and pay me a entry level marketing manager salary. Advice?

Anyone here moved from strategy to account?
