At that level, they’re probably looking for someone who can work effectively with senior business unit line managers, vs someone who can “crack the case.” Be sure you demonstrate EQ as well as IQ

Depends completely on the company. I have had cases and not had them. Worth asking the recruiter or your contact at the company. Sometimes they will tell you

Agree with the above. Ive found that if the people in the group that you are interviewing with are ex strategy consultants you'll have a case. If they are from business units you are likely going to be thrown hypothetical scenarios (mini case) that won't be as rigorous as a full case interview.

Depends on what “Sr manager” means at this company too. At some companies that’s ~5yrs experience, others more like 15-20

All good points - thanks for the responses. In this case the team is ex MBB and the position is 7-10 yrs experience. I’m expecting some cases.

Also posted over in tech bowl. Looking for advice on whether pursue a CS degree. I’m an older guy shifting to SWE. I finished bootcamp last May & about to start my first jr role at Oracle OCI. Late 30’s with a couple of kids. Is it worth it for me to seek a CS degree at this time/soonish? I’m not afraid of the extra work, and would go part time. Wondering if the eventual payoff would worth the effort. Will I level up quicker? Employer has partial tuition reimb.

And no talks of a promotion / raise..

Started a new job 7 months ago. There’s been a hiring freeze and it seems they canned the recruitment team. Things seems to be slowing down drastically in the span of a week. Getting the resume all spiffed up and getting interviews together. When do you make the exit? “When you find a job” I know, but…

Also, would me making my exit to another role that I might leave in a 8 months bite me in the ass down the line? Do I just grab anything in the interim?

Wondering what people think about my situation. I’ve been offered a role with a company. The job description didn’t mention college degree as a requirement.

It’s a 4 year degree and under this I have my High School equivalent with the years I attended there. The education wasn’t mentioned in the interviews. Continued below.

Leaving my current job for a career pivot. Current job has been challenging to say the least and senior management never hears what others have to say. Employment is an at will state.
Senior leadership is so unforgiving that I fear by giving notice, I’ll be asked to leave and lose out on two weeks pay.
Thoughts and feedback on not giving notice or reducing the typical two weeks?
Thank you!
