I’m starting to wonder if I’m being brought into these final rounds just so HR can check a box before they hire the MD’s golfing buddy. I’ve had three Superdays where I was clearly the most qualified person in the room, only to be told they went in a different direction with zero feedback. Am I just getting cynical after 50 rejections?

I don’t think that’s cynical, I think it’s a pretty fair reaction. Unfortunately, the process isn’t always as merit-based as it should be. Curious though, how did you find out the person hired was the MD’s golfing buddy?

Yep, sometimes we are interviewed just so they can say they interviewed other candidates.

Just found out that end of the year I will be promoted from analyst directly to VP and since it’s such a large jump I’ll be the lowest paid VP in asset management at only $135k TC. Should I stay it out and wait for TC to align or take the promotion and jump ship bc I will likely get paid more elsewhere given how recruiters/other companies eat up hiring recently promoted ppl from other firms?

Anyone here with experience as a Product Manager? I’ve close to decade of consumer lending experience including Sales/Advisory, Supervisor and Underwriting. I have have been looking to pivot into a more impactful role this year. I am due for an interview for a Product Manager next week. The company ticks all my boxes but the job description a bit vague. I will be grateful if anybody willing to share what the day role looks like and what I need to look out for in an interview. Thanks. Cheers.

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
