Interviewed final round with L.E.K. Consulting last week and got an email today from talent about a new associate program. Any insight about this? I’ve yet to hear back on final round decisions.

All good, I know it’s vague (unintentionally). All I know is that the interviews were good and that an additional interview would required be with Jon P. or another senior MD if I’m interested.

If you're interviewing with JP, I wonder if this is the new research associate position

My guess is that you did ok but not great in the final rounds. They weren’t sold on you. But there’s a new program for people we weren’t sold on but have a good background - you’re hired in as a regular Associate but with an option for us to terminate after 6 months of things go poorly.

We need bodies and this new program allows us to get more bodies but with the call option to allow us to get out of bad situations. Frankly, it’s not that different from the normal Associate program where we’ve fired underperformers after 6 months.

Hi everyone,

I appeared in L2 round of Capgemini recently.
Just after the intro first question they asked me " Do you have any offer and amount?" This question was asked in technical round.
I'm sure that guy wasn't a Manager.

I don't think he know how to take an interview.

Even after creating 2 asked program and answering 80% of their questions correctly.
Got rejected.
Didn't expect this kind of L2 round from Capgemini.

Switching from commission to salary!

I’m considering a less sales-oriented role that doesn’t pay commission. The new role will have a higher base but lower overall earning potential.

What % haircut should be expected? As an example, if I make 100k (base + commission) today, would it be realistic to ask for 90k (10% cut) + equity to make up the difference?
