Interviewed with reputable VC fund in NYC. Met in person with the principal last Thursday. This was my second round interview and I think I did really well in first and second round....

They said they’d reach out after Monday but I have t heard anything yet. Do I reach out?

Definitely... no harm in doing so especially if you felt you connected with the interviewers. What kind of interview questions do you prepare for for VC interviews?

@OP Oh teach me your ways, wise one

Would love to hear more about your process

Basically been hustling my butt off for the past year and half to meet everyone I can in NY. I attend events and source companies. I think a lot of it is really doing it before you get paid to do it. I’d suggest reading everything and knowing how to speak the lingo. Similarly, I play in a VC basketball league that helped me a bunch. I think I’m just thoughtful and people recognize the hustle.

I should preface that if I tried half as hard at being a rockstar consultant as I do at VC I’d be promoted by now lol

Hi fishies. I have a ton of interviews coming up soon including a case interview at EY within their Innovation and Experience Design practice for Digital Strategy Manager. I am super comfortable with CX, design thinking, etc which are the types of projects I would be working on BUT I am absolutely terrible in case interviews. I was hoping it would be based on CX or design but my understanding is there is some revenue component idk. Anyone have any insight? I would greatly greatly appreciate it!

Hope someone can give more insight onto this issue.

I was confident in my now manager, who told me directly this will become a permanent role. However, i’m nervous about where the economy is going to be within the next year, and after getting a few linked in messages to interview for full time positions, I’m starting to second guess myself.
