I keep hearing I’m sounding “too polished after interviews, and it’s throwing me off. Is being too prepared and professional a bad thing now? I want to be taken seriously, but I don't want to seem fake or rehearsed. What's working for you all?

Being prepared is great, but you want to build a rapport with the interviewer, if you sound too rehearsed/robotic you are not going to make a connection

Maybe that's a way of saying you're not personable enough? If too rehearsed it could seem cold

I've gotten this feedback as well because I was practicing my questions and answers way too much. Once I stopped rehearsing so much in my head, I didn't get that feedback anymore.

I've found success by preparing examples of things I want to discuss, things I want to bring up and highlight etc. Without practicing them word for word

Think about it this way: your qualifications were good enough to get the interview. Now they are wanting to verify a few things from the resume and see if you’ll blend with the team. Giving robotic/rehearsed answers aren’t helping them see who you really are. Being prepared is great. Researching ahead of time is also great. Showing how you use that info is what they are looking for.

You also need to be conversational. Be prepared to ask them questions. Good interviews go both ways.

Hey guys,

I really need your help.

I recently got a good opportunity in one of the Mncs to work but i was worried as i had absconded from one of the companies just after 2 months of working there due to mental torture.

I have a shown the same as gap for personal reasons in my resume.

Will i have any problem after joining this new MNC during background verification as per the standards?..

Really need your help if anyone has faced this situation or know anything on the same.

Thank you

On a weekday, when can I slow down (respond in 30 mins instead of 5) or go to sleep? I’m sure it’ll depend on deal pace, but in general?

Do tech companies like FAANG hire strategy consultants? Starting at an MBB/T2 next year and curious if tech companies leverage consultants as much as other industries. Part of me wonders if they are in such high growth right now that consultants can’t add as much value, thus maybe a smaller presence. Thoughts?

Looking to get into SaaS sales but my experience is in construction and fine furniture (I was a sales manager and was able to lead my team of 4 people to consistently hit 450k monthly targets). I did that for almost 2 years before making the switch. I miss sales, though. Does anyone have any connections to companies looking? I have also considered a sales analyst role considering that I am moderately versed in Salesforce and have worked both the customer facing and sales generating side. TIA!

Does anyone know the answer to this? - My first mortgage statement was generated on 11/2 with a due date of 12/1 and includes a month of interest based on the balance on 11/2. I made a principle only payment on 11/14 of $500 which was applied right away. Will the interest automatically recalc to reflect a lower outstanding balance for a portion of the month? I plan to do this every month.

Hi,
I have a couple of questions -
1. What is the average bonus pay for WM division ? I asked HR and he did not quote any range.
2. How long it takes to promote to 602 given an average to above average performer.
Thanks
