I'm currently a third year V100 tax associate and I am interviewing with my dream firm next week. This is my first lateral interview. Other than being prepared to discuss my current and past matters, do you have any tax-specific interview tips?

How do recruiting cycles work at McKinsey in Canada? I applied as an EH Associate about 3 months ago. My application hasn’t been rejected, but I’ve heard nothing. I’ve reached out to a recruiter 3 times with nothing but crickets as a response.

Is it okay to ask how often do they have to work after hours when in an interview? I’m okay with it every now and then but want to avoid the agencies where it’s common to work a 50 hour week.

Why so much hectic procedure to get into a project in Nagarro. Tons and tons of interviews.

I had a interview with the technician recruiter at Yelp on 2/22, and an interview with one of the IT managers on 3/8. It’s been a week since my second interview and I haven’t heard anything. It’s for the same role I applied for back in 2019, which I did not get at the time. Should I follow up with an email, or wait a little longer?

Interviewing at a late stage startup. During screener with internal recruiter, was told base would be X. Halfway through interview process, recruiter says that base is actually 10% less than X. Red flag?

Is a referral needed for the Facebook RPM position? Im sure they get a ton of applications so wondering if there’s even a chance just applying outright

Hi everyone!
I have interviews coming up at BD in Maryland and, coming from the hospital world, I have no clue what salary to ask for. The position is a scientist/quality role for microbiology research and development. For context, I have 4 years of experience in a hospital blood bank and am a certified Medical Laboratory Technologist. I was thinking in the 65-70k range, but the recruiter made it seem like that was easily attainable so I’m worried I’m asking too low. Would 75-80k be do-able?

I was talking with an Asian mentee who told me that he has experienced the following microagression during job interviews: "You speak English soooo well!" Any suggestions about how he can respond?

Hi All,

Any recommendations for applying/
interviewing with EY's Transaction Tax
Advisory group?

Maybe I am thinking a few steps ahead as I am still in the interview phase with 3 firms, but how would I go about letting a firm know that I need some time before responding to an offer (when in actuality I want to wait to see if the other company has an offer as well)?

I understand that an offer may take some time, so how do I go about making sure I am giving each company enough time before I answer (assuming I receive an offer from more than one company that is.)

Experience with Hirevue for an interview?

Hi Fishes,

How are the SAP projects in nagarro.

Is there any new tech stack work for SAP and do we need to work on multiple projects?

Advice/ thoughts. Interviewing at a tech startup within the construction industry for an enterprise bdr role. Tech startups scare me, although the idea and concepts are super interesting. There’s really no insights on the company but they have a pretty big investor and their exec team is super stellar in regards to their backgrounds and accomplishments. Just curious as to how others would handle this, would you take a leap of faith or stay put?

1 yoe as a business intelligence
developer and just under 1 yoe as a
Junior data engineer for a startup.
My current company is in talks with
me to hire me as a data engineer
right after I graduate with my
bachelors degree. From what I've
seen online (averaging 5 different
sites, I am including Glassdoor but
only the number they have listed as
the base) I'm currently expecting
about 85k base. Does this seem too
high? Just looking for some opinions
before I go in for my interview.

New associate starting in the tax group at a biglaw firm in NYC. Would really appreciate any advice on how to be most useful/get through the learning curve!

When the IRS (e.g., a RO/AO/Examiner) calls or writes a letter… How do you verify that it’s really the IRS and not a scam? I’m new to tax law and I’m worried that I’m going to respond to/answer a scam and give away client info (or my own tax preparer info). I don’t think my worry is unfounded due to the tremendous amount of tax/IRS scam out there but it would be nice to hear from some of y’all so that I’m not so worried about it…

Hi all! I’m applying to NYU tax llm and I’m pretty confident I can get in,but it’s unlikely I’ll receive a scholarship. I’m working at a non big4 consulting firm for about 1.5yrs now, doing mainly international with some M&A exposure. I want to do llm because I still want to shoot for biglaw. I have a small kid so it’ll be hard to do the program part time. Should I quit my current job and enroll full time? Meaning lose 1yr salary and taking on a job security risk. TIA!
