I heard it’s important to find a common ground with the interviewer. What questions do you guys recommend a student should ask if he/she is being interviewed by someone like a senior director or a partner? What would make it interesting or impressive

Assuming you have it before, would look at their background to get an idea what practice area they’re involved with and any firm extracurricular they’re in. Would then come up with 2-3 good questions based on these you can’t Google. Careful not to come off as scripted with questions or “asking them for the sake of asking”, but found this approach is nice to start a nice conversation

Have interviewed a couple of people from WK over the past few weeks and have been hearing a lot about how it’s becoming a pretty horrible place to work since Susan came onboard. The criticism was more around actually working there than the work itself but is it really that bad? One of the candidates was saying that many of the good creatives have been leaving or are planning to leave because of this. I haven’t ever worked for Susan so I have no clue. Anyone heard anything similar?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
