I have an interview next week for a tech industry role and my interviewer was a project leader at BCG. Nervous as I'm an analyst at Deloitte (not S&O) with little experience. Any tips?

Not a troll post. Sure, will try to prepare a solid POV

Prepare as much as you can, be personable and somewhat honest. If you're genuine, that helps too if your interviewer is on the same page. Good luck buddy!

Then you get the right attitude. Go for it!

Just because their pedigree is in a "higher tier" firm doesn't necessitate their experience to be better. Maybe they only do strategy and want someone with implementation experience to round out the engagement. Or other way around. Maybe your firm has a better niche practice / service line the target firm is getting into.

I have an interview for an in house position (only attorney) at a small non-profit focused on conservation easements. I am a transactional associate at a mid sized law firm. The prospect of freedom from the billable hour and contributing to meaningful work are the draws. The cons are that while the salary at the non-profit would only be slightly less than what I am making now, pay increases and opportunities for advancement will be much less than where I am now. Thoughts on making the shift?

If 2+ people submit a referral on your behalf at their company for a position you recently applied for, does it make you stand out even more/increase your chances of getting an interview vs. just 1?

Hi! I’ve been approached by Securonix for a Sales Director role in NA. I know the field and their competitors. The pay is good but I’ve seen a handful of websites with employee rating that is really bad. Each site has roughly 10 reviews but most are negative. Mostly referring to toxic culture and zero work life balance. How true is this in this sales org and the company in general? This is a backfill role after a 3 year tenure for the person who left.

Does anyone else just not even want to be a people manager anymore?! The amount of work this is taking, I’m just so over it. In addition to them piling on my work (which is a full time job) the people management stuff is just as much a full time job that no one in management seems to take into account. I have tried countless times to explain this but I end up burnt out, everyone suffers including me. I just left one role bc of it and now this new role, same thing. I’m over it.
