I have two interviews coming up soon (BCG and Monitor) and obviously want to be as prepared as possible. My work load in investment banking is quite heavy at the moment, and I suspect the workload in the new year will get worse.

1) For those that have prepped for consulting interviews in an already demanding job - how did you do it? What worked for you?
2) I’m thinking about getting an consulting-specific interview coach for the short term as I prep. Has this worked others?

Any Deloitte recruiter in here to help me on my application? I am stuck on submitting the application because it is saying ''there is an existing application by this phone number, so log in continue", but I can't see any continue option!

Has anyone interviewed with syneos commercial advisory?

Does Deloitte look a lot better than ACN on b-school apps? Debating if I should take the offer to switch and then apply after.

I have 3 years of Experience working as a fullstack developer using .NET Core, Angular, React, and Postgres.

Hi all,

I interviewed with capgemini for SAP ABAP role and my YOE is 4 years. Just 2 hours after my interview, I got a call from someone at Capgemini saying that I am selected.
They just asked my notice period and current location.I asked them, what is the next round going to be and they said that it is going to be salary discussion. But till now, no one has reached out to me.
Does it mean they got another candidate for same job?
If they get back to me, how much should I ask?
Current - 9.9

I applied for a Director Learning and Development (L&D) role at McKinsey about a month ago via a referral. About a week ago, my McKinsey employee (who referred me) received an automated email saying that I had moved to the pre-screening process of the recruitment process and that I'll hear from the recruiter shortly.

It's more than a week now and I haven't heard back. Can anyone shed light on the process -- what to expect, timelines, what is the interview process like, etc.

Thanks!

What is the Wharton HCM interview like? I already had a discussion with June in the summer and got all my questions answered. Is this interview any different?

I cleared all my rounds for 2.2 level and shared all my documents on the link HR shared. It's been two weeks and the offer letter is not generated. The HR keeps telling me to wait until Friday and then postpones to next week. Can anyone help me understand this?

Hi Fishes

I gave google silicon interview all 4 rounds 3+ months back, from then they are saying they want to hire me but headcount approval is not yet received.
Last week they said, lets go for one more round and finalize immediately. That interview also went very good.
Post that they didn't call back itself, they have stopped responding also.

Has anybody faced this issue? This I feel completely unprofessional and not really expected from Google.

Thanks

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?
