Interviewing for a strategy role at a well established startup by an ex Deloitte SM that left a few months ago. Any tips on what they will be looking for or how to best position myself to resonate with them?

This doesn't pass the sniff test. Well established startup but the founder started it a few months ago? A big bad senior manager from Deloitte? How are those facts alone enough to make this interesting for you?

I respect Deloitte, they're better than EY. That's not the point though, this sounds like they're selling you on fluffed up BS

No, EY1. The start up is well established, the SM left Deloitte a few months ago to go work for the start up. Founder is not the SM :)

^^ silly EY

I’m teaching summer school at a high school, and the co-principals have asked me to focus on only 2 to 3 chapters worth (what they are calling “2-3 standards” in the eight days of summer semesters. However, they are also asking me to give kids the midterm and/or final at the end of each period, which covers 4-5 chapters each semester. My question is this: “Is it legal by California Ed code for the administration to ask me to teach less than each entire semester, yet test each whole semester?”
