How did the interview go? What was the structure

like

Logic. Simple math. Affability.

Very true, but I assume professional behavior and FB behavior are not 1:1🤞

And A1 may not even be interested in S&, just thought the word sounded funny. 🤞

I heard strategy& is getting the monitor treatment, is that true?

Not at all.

There was a re-org but S& is still a distinct brand with distinct recruiting, promotion, and GTM models.

All my S& folks, what are the cases like? Don’t think I’ll get assigned an interview buddy (like bcg, deloitte) so want to make sure I have the right info to prepare

Sure. Market sizing, market entry, acquisition, product launch, whatever.

Got the offer: I make more than 2x right now than their TC Offer and when I brought that up, the recruiter said there’s literally no way they can match it.

Thanks for all the help guys

Makes sense. I've done the same with interviews😂

At S&, bonus is a pretty big part of comp. If it were manager level, it might be worth it if you really wanted to do that kind of consulting, or if you plan to stick around until partner.

But $350K before bonus / refresher sounds like director level comp at S&.

Just became an ACD. Im in a limbo. Half of the time im being treated as a Super Senior AD and the other half im being treated as a Almost CD.

In a way, i do the job so well that i get asked to do more AD projs and guide more projs — but then: wtf does my CD do? They mostly just 👍🏻what i direct n approve

Hello recruiters, happy Monday!
