I’m getting to the final interview stages in most of my job prospects.. but I can’t seem to land one.

usually at least 3 1-1 interviews and then a case study. I get pretty generic feedback.

I’m going for strategy positions so I’m competing mostly with big 3 talent. I’m not big three.

Any advice? I get my case study and presentation reviewed by my mentor (ex BCG and current VC)

Do you sound enthusiastic about the roles? I feel like towards the end it comes down to a personality alignment.

I try my best. I do agree that sometimes it’s just a personality alignment

So I've had 2 hiring managers and several recruiters from Amazon reach out to me about applying for some open positions with the company (android).

I'm really not sure how badly I want to work for them and I don't want to be laid off months after being hired on. Anyone know what Amazon hiring is like?

Am I particularly uptight, or is writing meant to be done alone, without a partner talking to you? With past partners, we chat through script notes and then I go off to execute. Current partner likes to sit and chat as I write. To me, writing is crafting a conversation. So I can’t talk to you and simultaneously talk to this audience. Of course I can just say “I’m gonna go write.” But since we’re both CD level, I’m like…is this his first rodeo? Maybe other writers are different though.
