Congrats OP! What were the interviews like and what type of questions did they ask?

Thank you! I went through quite a few rounds - recruiter, technical interview where I practiced on leetcode, hiring manager (mostly behavioral) and then a final round where the company let me know the types of questions I should prepare for. The questions were behavioral and I went through quite a few FAANG interviews and if you get a solid recruiter, he/she will tell you the type of questions that they will likely ask. All of mine were behavioral and they asked me to demonstrate from my experience how it would translate to the work going forward

My firm has a collections budget (80% of your billable rate x 1850 hours) and an hourly budget that must be met in order to be eligible for a bonus. The firm cares very little about originations and will reward someone for making their collections over someone who brings in new work. I missed my collection budget due to some odd timing with a client, but originated more than all my peers so no bonus for me. I’ve been at this same mid level firm for 9 years and it’s all I know.

The company I work for is based out of a different state. They’re HR team makes more because of cost of living.

My team and I have worked hard to demonstrate this but we are not being heard. The obvious would be to look elsewhere but other than this issue, I’m happy here
