They’re saying this role has some urgency but I also hear mixed things about this company so idk how I feel

Say goodbye to your well being

Why is bad at Accenture? And will the extra money be worth your well being?

In my experience well being/hours is team dependent. I've worked <45 hrs for 2+ years now. Some people I know work ~50 but we rarely approach MBB hours.

As to the interview:
Which role/job title are you going for?
I'd expect about 2 behavioral and 1-2 cases for consulting. Plenty of practice ones on the D website.

I work pretty much similar hours here but the culture is just going downhill where I am. And I’m going for a manager role. Do you have any specific advice for that level? I just hear a lot of mixed things on Deloitte

Is it common to offer signing bonuses for product managers? I've only worked in small companies and I'm currently interviewing at a much larger company. I am expecting an offer this week, but the salary isn't quite where I want it to be. A signing bonus of 5 or 10k would make me feel so much better (obviously) but it would put me right where I want to be for salary this year. I'm taking a cut in salary to consider this new job but I like the company and they actually offer benefits

Can anybody offer some insight into each of these/the process?

Hi everyone, I am getting ready for a job interview, and need to create a media plan. I was hoping someone can help me with the next task: basically, I need to create inventory recommendation based on past performance. What I am very confused about is that they gave me Booked Impressions (=4M), but in the task it says I should assume there is unlimited inventory. Am I supposed to use this 4M only to calculate spend, ROAS, etc., but can actually have unlimited allocated impressions? Thank you!

M/SM and above, why do you label a meeting as “touch point” or ask if you can have a “quick chat” when it’s something serious? Millennials like us always assume we’re about to get fired - I actually have been laid off in a meeting with that title. But at my new job, my boss asked for a “quick chat” to literally ask me to change the title of a meeting and then chat about christmas. Now that I’m in management, I want to understand it better.
