Reschedule the interview to a Sunday night because you have to work the rest of the week. That will impress them.

Really good at pitch decks, with solid raw modeling skills.

1. Good understanding of operational aspects of companies. 2. Ability to influence higher ups and chase to get things done. 3. Time management and prioritization skills

I really hope you get the job! If your open, do you mind sharing what they ask you? Also looking to jump to IB.

Anyone have any friends who successfully pivoted out of advertising? I know a handful of people who are half-trying to, but I can’t think of anyone who has made a clean break, on their own terms, into something that appears to be making them feel more fulfilled than they were in the ad biz. So they continue freelancing in order to make a living, while not gaining much traction elsewhere.
