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

My current salary is under market average for my position but based off my coworkers’ negative experiences with asking for raises/promotions, I’m not really sure how to go about starting the conversation with my manager. There’s also a rumor going around that the company is going to scale back on our marketing efforts even though our VP tells us a different story. Either way I need more money and I just want to have that conversation before I begin looking for a new job.

I’ve been leading a massive project by myself for the last year almost and my boss torpedoed my last round of meetings: “oh we don’t need to socialize this, I’ve been doing it, let’s just kick it off.” Okay. So turns out, no one fucking knew and now because we had one meeting instead of two, the people we met with aren’t even the ones doing the work, and they’re not telling the ones who are supposed to do the work about it. So I now need to go back and do more meetings.
