I have been leading my department in the interim, until they find a replacement VP. I was just told they hired one and although I work very closely and have a great working relationship with Senior Leadership, nobody has mentioned this until now, meaning no involvement in the interview process. I’m trying to not take offense to this knowing that can can happen at a higher level, but it’s hard.

Be gracious but suspicious until you can determine the lay of the new land. I would also have a hard time getting over this.

I would be offended, too. Why were you not considered for the role?

Ah, thanks for the additional info. In that case, it does make sense that they wouldn’t involve you in the hiring process for someone more senior than you. I’m sure there are ways to make that work, but most companies don’t consider it best practice.

A better process would have been to include you, even if it was more of a "meet and greet" vs. interview. It know it's hard, but you should try to pivot to building a relationship with the new leader, understanding why you weren't considered (unless you were, in which case NOT having you meet them makes total sense), and move forward in a positive direction.

I think it’s typical that executives don’t include direct reports in the interview for a new leader. I’ve never been included - but they usually will ask me to meet with the new person before they start or within their first week.

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Advice/suggestions please:
Let’s say you were interviewing for a global client lead role - at the holding co level - for one of WPP, Omnicom or IPG.

What questions would you ask in the interview phase?
What concerns would you have?
If you had your pick of essentially the same role at all three of those holding companies which would you pick? Or not pick?

If you have any insight/two cents you up for sharing to help me out, thank you!
