I’m applying for generalist positions at MBB. Will they test me on software/programming skills in my resume (tableau, excel, Python, SQL, etc) during interviews?

They didn’t when I interviewed thru OCR

From people I know that did lateral interviews, no as well, but they’re post MBA/ manager level

Not for generalist at M. They do for expert roles

Maybe not for the case study purpose. However, anything put in your resume can be deepdived into during the CV/intro step (first 5-10 mins or so)

Makes sense, what types of questions would they ask?

Anything is game if you put it on your resume. If your interviewer is a big data analytics guy then he might probe out of interest. Be prepared for it and just know, having inflated accomplishments on your resume will hurt you more than help (not saying you necessarily did this)

Contrary to the above, I would wager the probability that comes up in an Interview for generalist track is extremely close to 0

Thanks for the insight!

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?

On June 21, I had an interview with two managers to become an HR Coordinator. Everything went smoothly, and I got good feedback, so I moved on to the management round of interviews. The recruiter initially stated that I would go through two rounds; however, between June 22-June 23, there were really five rounds, and I am still awaiting the scheduling of one more interview, even though it is now July. I'm becoming frustrated at this point. I’m still actively interviewing with other companies.

They answered no, they have been here for months, and it’s not like this wasn’t in the job description. Am I missing something here? Trying to be helpful but stuff like this is frustrating.
