Bain & Company Interviewing with an internal consulting team and was told I would have 1 or 2 interviews with someone at the same level as I would be. 1) what’s the best approach when interviewing with someone at your level? Ask questions related to projects/what makes them succeed at the position? 2) I was told there are a lot of ex McKinsey & Company Bain & Company and Boston Consulting Group folks. I come from a very generic background. Are they going to be looking for anything in particular?

I would try to ask more questions about why they chose the team and what they'd tell a friend to be aware of before joining (good or bad).

I would avoid trying to come off too aggressive or try hard as peers are more likely to find that off-putting. They don't want someone who is going to rock the boat

Very helpful. Wonder how long you’ve been waiting to use that.

I have just recently accepted a position as Director of Compliance at a Fin-Tech company here in Naples, FL.. My previous 17 YOE were strictly in the Financial industry. Does anyone know what the average salary is for this position? I have a sinking feeling that I accepted the role too quickly without comparing salaries. The position only pays $50k/year. That seems low to me.

What are peoples thoughts on working for a Banking Company in a Product or Tech role? I know there are mixed feelings since it’s not working directly with interest, etc.

If you currently work in banking, what was your reasoning (besides pay)?

If you don’t, would you ever accept an offer if it in a Tech or Product role?
