I have to interview a writer for our team soon. I’ve never interviewed someone before. What do I ask?

Those actively interviewing, where are you trying go?

Currently on £55k at Capgemini Engineering. To catch up with the cost of living increases and lifestyle creep I need to be at £65k as soon as possible.

What type of roles should I be looking and applying for?

Asking for a friend:
What’s the interview process for a FSO Manager in EY joining the DnA BI team like? Has anyone been through the process recently? Thanks

Anyone know how long you typically have to wait to re-apply for a job at Big 4? Friend got auto rejected last month but wants to apply with a referral from me and new resume format

Has anyone here worked at or worked with CMS Payments Intelligence (CMSPI)? I was contacted by a recruiter for a position there and have a first interview on Monday. I'm currently pretty happy with my current job so this would have to be something special to entice me to leave. Would love any info on the culture etc.

Thanks!

I have an interview tomorrow to work at a fintech startup. I'm slightly worried as I'm not sure what it'll be like working While they use functional programming which I enjoy, I'm concerned about how much pressure I'll be under.

What is it like working at a fintech company? Is the salary at a fintech company typically higher than other tech jobs? It'll be higher than gamedev, but just wanted to learn about whether the pressure will be worth it eventually etc.

Quick question.
I was a contractor for a big company and they just let me know that my last day is December 30th. I got this position thanks to a recruiting company that has been great and gives me benefits.
Should I:
- Continue working with the recruiting company, hoping that they will find another position for me? (as they told me they will, and when they applied me I started working with my current company within 2 weeks)
- Work with the recruiter + apply for jobs on my own?

For those who’ve interviewed or worked in PE Operations, how much of a finance background is needed? Any accounting knowledge?

Does anyone here work at Ameriprise financial? If so, would you recommend it? What is the work life balance like? I have an interview for a Advisory trading specialist role. Thanks!

Hi all, i have recently attended my second round with manager.

Hi Energy fish, I’m currently an economic consultant working in Energy with 2.5 YOE. Would anyone in the energy industry be willing to critique my resume? It would be ideal if you had consulting experience too but I won’t be picky. It’s been hard for me to figure out how to get the nuances of the industry across without being too detailed. Please DM me!

Resigned from my job for blatant racism last week. Been a contingent worker for 6 months. The manager that recruited me unfortunately left after a couple weeks and went to another company. She however recommended me for the permanent opportunity to higher management. The acting manager came in, permanent role was posted, I applied, interviewed……manager told me they chose someone else external for the role. I could sense the manager had no intentions to hire me permanently

Has anyone had an interview where the interviewer only asks 1-2 questions (with one of them being “tell me about yourself?”). The first round was the same and I made it through, so don’t think (cont.)

6 months pregnant and just laid off. And 40% of my severance was just taken in taxes .. I just spoke with paid family leave and I no longer qualify even though I had been paying into the program (thanks NY).. I already applied for unemployment but doctors are telling me I’ve got 10-14 weeks left in this pregnancy.. so stressed having twins and being unemployed, no maternity leave, no paychecks coming in, and I’ve been applying but not a single interview.. just ugh. 😭

Is offer match a good idea?

One feedback from my SM was that I (a senior) should leverage work down more. We have 8 seniors to 1 staff. Ha ha. This is laughable right?

I feel like I need a career coach because I am considering switching jobs but I don’t know where to go or where to start. I feel really overwhelmed and don’t know what I’m qualified for. And then always worried another job could be worse than the one I’m in now. Am I the only one like this? Where do you start? I can look at job postings and all but idk what I want to do long term. Especially with WFH I feel like there’s absolutely no networking or anyone to talk to outside of my team

Spending 48 hours in Belgium this summer. Do you recommend Brussels or Antwerp?

Just saw an old coworker post bragging about how she graduated from the most prestigious University in the world. It was obviously the Harvard Extension School…cringe

Fish who moved to London without a job lined up: did you have any issues clearing customs at Heathrow? Heard they might give you trouble if you don’t have a return ticket. (Cont. in comments.)

I just got called about a job on Thursday, showing interest. They’re already back in the office so the job would require me to be. Said they’re classified as an essential business because most of their advertising is for healthcare. Is this a hard red flag? Really Seems like it.

Somebody please in tomorrow’s WPP Global Townhall meeting ask if they’re going to give us a cost to living inflation raise. A bonus. Gas cards. Anything. They are taking questions.
