Interview question. I am currently in the process of interviewing for a senior position at an upper mid level firm.

I have reached the partner level of the interview process but am still nervous. Is it unusual to reach all the way up to the partner and not get offered the position?

Looking for honest feedback.
Thanks

I have interviewed many people who were not hired for a variety of reasons. Right now I would agree with the prior poster about the need to make a business case. I’m at an upper mid-level firm.

Things are weird right now. The partner may have to make a business case to hire. I wouldn’t stress about it.

PWC1 and Partner 1. If the positions are listed on the website do they still have to make a business case? Seems like that would of already been done if they are publicly advertising a need.

Good luck :)

What’s considered an upper mid level firm?

5-7

At my office, it’s was the norm to go to lunch with managers and seniors, be interviewed by a senior manager and then second interview by the partner.

Verbally offered !!!

There’s an opportunity to step up into the role of Director of Product, but I’ve only got 2.5 years of experience and am already being paid below average by like 15%. I’ve accepted this because A. My company has historically underpaid people but I still like the people and B. My lack of experience. I think a promotion would come with a raise, but the percentage difference would most likely only grow and I’m not sure that would be ok with the responsibilities I’d be stepping into. Any advice?

Hi ladies!

The interviewer asked me to send in my salary expectation before we talk. This is a little bit challenging to me. Talk numbers.
The position ask for at least 4 years experience. I have 6.
I want to ask for a fair amount because I do think I can bring much value to the company.
Also don’t want to compromise just because I’m out of work at the moment. Do you guys have a suggestion ? TIA!!!

Perhaps they should all be called 'Following Partners'.
