I met BCG partner he gave me his email and told me to come in for an interview. I've got 6 months left to finish my master's part time. Would I have time to study if I were a successful candidate?

Hahaha no, you wouldn’t have time to study. You’d have to start post-graduation

Get the offer, THEN negotiate the start date so you can finish

I think you could negotiate finishing your program. I doubt they want you to take a loss on the education.

No way. You’d end up failing at both. It’s super hard for those of us without a degree going on

Do both and get locked in on a start date that starts at the middle to end of their fiscal year so you have a warming up ramp

Ask them if it’s ok to finish your masters before joining. Tell them it’ll provide way more value etc.

Hello! I’m a Talent Acquisition Manager at a 300 FTE sized gov contractor with 2 recruiters under me. One of my recruiters and I are both having babies in August and will be out for 12 weeks. She’s only coming back part time. My leadership already said no to hiring another full time recruiter. Has anyone had any good experience with contract recruiters? Or any advice for a short term solution?

I’ve applied to 3 program manager roles with google and even though I feel I’m over qualified, I’m not getting any interviews or even a screening call from a recruiter. I got NTD for 2/3 already.

If there is anyone willing to take a look at my resume and give me feedback on gaps they see in my experience that would be leading to this i’d appreciate it! If in fact I’m not the right fit now I would really appreciate knowing what to work on to make myself a stronger candidate in the future!

Thoughts on whether to bring this up or continue to be a team player until I burn out and pay off my student loans?
