I’m an advertising guy interviewing with a big 5 consultancy and now they want to do a case study interview - I’ve seen the online examples and think I’m starting to get the hang of profit trees and market sizing methods (very different level of rigor than creative strategy). Any practical hints or tips to get through this?

Big 5 isn't a thing

Yeah so not to be discouraging, but the fact that you describe the firm you are interviewing at as an accounting firm probably is a clue to how valued you will be as a non-accountant - just my experience.

Does big 5 just mean you are interviewing with accenture?

Show you’re competent + logic your way through it, it doesn’t need to be perfect, they just need to see you can think on your feet.

Case in point is a GREAT resource

I’ve been interviewing with Google since July. Passed the first interview but the team I was matched with ended up hiring someone else.

I know that interviewing with google is a long process but I’m worried the longer I wait the more likely I will be rejected or just never hear back. Anyone else in this situation? How long until you got an offer?

Was at dinner with my mom yesterday and we got into an argument about me not wanting to tell her how much my salary is. I had no problem telling my parents right out of college but just feel kind of weird about it as I progress in my career. She said I am getting a big head and I replied that the exact reason I don’t want to tell her how much I make is because I don’t want to brag/ have a big head. Should I tell my parents how much I make for the rest of my life? Am I over thinking it?
