Interviewers, (or interviewees), do you recall any stand out moments from case interviews where someone has done something unique or noteworthy, which stuck out in your mind as a good tool or tip to carry forward? Or do you recall a recovery from an error in an interesting (and positive) way?

I’d be happy to host a session on how to nail case interviews if there are at least 10 people who’d participate for a cost of $80 for 2 hours this Sunday.

These tricks are applicable to both consulting, PM and almost any logic based interviews.

DM if you’d want to join.

Just got the call from a recruiter that they won’t be moving forward with my application after reviewing my take-home writing assignment. I was very proud of what I submitted, and know it was great quality and up to industry standards given I review/write this type of document quite frequently. They gave me good feedback on it, and I have it in the back of my mind that they are using applicants from consulting as free labor. Anyone else feel this way about interview take-home assignments??

Offering advice to job seekers who go around recruiters and message hiring teams, execs, etc. You are putting the Recruiters job in danger. If a Recruiter declines you or doesn’t choose to reach out, it is because the hiring team declined you, or you don’t have the experience. You will most likely not be considered for future roles because of this. When I see people giving advice to reach outside the Recruiter, it’s bad advice. Very rare is this a good idea.

Hey everyone! At what stage do you think it would be appropriate to share that I am currently on an H-1B work visa? I got reached out by the CEO regarding an opportunity they are recruiting for.

In the application they didn’t ask about sponsorship or anything, and I didn’t want to automatically disqualify myself by telling them before giving my final round presentation. My final interview is Tuesday.
