I recently interviewed with an agency through a recruiter—the job posting, agency, and recruiter all confirmed that this would be at *most* a hybrid role (which to me means 2-3 days a week of in-office, am I wrong there?). I spent hours preparing for this interview only for the interviewer to show up 11 minutes late, blame it on “Zoom problems”, then say “we offer *two days of remote work per YEAR*”. I hung up and politely asked everyone involved not to contact me again. Unprofessional.

Next week I’m having my first lateral interview as a junior associate. I’m very nervous because the group with whom I’m interviewing works with life science/tech clients and the attorneys have strong science/tech backgrounds; and I do not. However, I am very, very interested in transitioning to this practice. And I reaaally want this job because it’s at my dream firm. How would you recommend preparing for the lateral interview?

People who have transitioned from consulting to industry or an objectively less demanding role (i.e working 40-45 hrs a week), what makes you feel good about your decision? After a decade in client services, I’m reaching a breaking point and can’t see consulting being sustainable with a young family. But I’m so achievement-driven that I’m having a hard time taking my foot off the gas; I know seeing peers advance once I’ve stepped away will be hard. For context, I’m F and ~8 yrs away from Partner

I bombed a question in my interview! Feeling horrid

Strategy 🐠, I'm curious about your day-to-day, and overall work what you actually do. Can you share?
I do business transformation and change management, but I'm curious to get into that side.

Is the bulk of your work slide making and creating a story to tell executives? How much data crunching, or data analysis do you do? On a project, what do you spend your time doing? A lot of research? Interviews?

Hi everyone, current job has obnoxiously long notice period and they won’t let me leave for health reasons. Wondering what my options are if there are any? I never signed a contract for my second year in and definitely did not have an opportunity to renegotiate my terms for my second year at the job. Right now I’m overworked and really want to step away but my job is not letting me do so. Would love some advice if i should involve lawyers vs continue talk to my bosses (who have not been helpful)

Making a ppt for my next interview. The ask is to recommend whether or not to enter a specific life sciences indication. They’ve laid out the data they want to see (market, patients, competition etc). Would you start with summarising your decision and the whys, or build the story and then provide recos at the end? 20 min presentation with ~8-9 slides.

Anyone know of going freelance copywriter rates in Tennessee?

I don't know if this is a recent change but I’m seeing postings for junior copywriter/community manager roles. Have these roles always been attached or posted at a junior level? Is this merged role worth considering as someone young in the industry with more traditional intern and freelance copy experience.
