Don’t worry. You already seem unhinged, insecure, and freak out over relatively trivial things - you are the perfect fit!

But can they check the final box: lacking self awareness of all these traits??

I recently went through the process, and honestly the fit part is nothing crazy! Make sure you prep questions like: why BCG, a story about an achievement, one about a failure, your biggest strength ecc.
be yourself and don’t overthink it - best thing in my opinion is to come across natural and authentic - good luck!

I’m actually so comfortable doing cases lol it’s just I’m touching this only now very close to the interview haha. Also i haven’t interviewed for a job in 6-7 years!

Also recently went through the process and got an offer - the questions are pretty standard, so it’s easy to prepare for - think of what stories you would tell for each common question in advance, and you should be good!

NeedMore$:
I started QA at the company I am currently at 3 years ago. Long story short, within 4 months at the company, I was able to make a career change and step into a PM position. Without having the formal education or PM experience, only my 5 years in QA experience. When I started I made $65k and have jumped to $78k. I have seen other companies post $100k+. Annual review is tomorrow. Should I fight for more or look for more somewhere else if I lose that fight?
