If you are interviewing for a job and your brother works for the client you'd be leading, would you mention that on an interview? Or is that annoying?

I'd bring that up before the interview-could potentially be a conflict of interest concern there. If there truly is a conflict, best to identify it before getting too deep into the process.

I would only mention if he works in marketing/brand, i.e. a direct client

I️ would look at that as leverage to use during a callback interview.

Definitely mention it. Could be a very big deal for both companies if it’s found out after the fact.

I have an informational interview with a Managing Director on Friday about a manager role. I currently serve in a client services role and do not have traditional consulting experience (billable hours, etc.). Additionally, while I’ve worked with McKinsey, Accenture, McKesson, and other teams on major projects, I don’t have experience putting together the strategy, more of a support function. Feeling a tad intimidated! Any tips would be so very appreciated!

Hello Fishes,
I am much stressed.. it’s only been 5 months to join Capgemini. I joined in as cyber security consultant with good package.
However, the work I do the tricks, logics and solutions I share with team to apply in the project… all are of no use when discussed with the architect guy. The whole team rely upon the wordings/solutions suggested by him only. It feels like my skill/knowledge and experience is of no use.
I feel like what am I doing here….? Any suggestions please.
