Interviewing with BCG next week. Approximately how many questions would be asked in the 25 minute fit portion? My interviewer has an interesting hobby (from the bio provided) that I want to ask about, but I don’t want to impede on any behavioral questions that need to be asked

Consulting is a lot of relationship building/connecting with people, and people love talking about themselves. If you have a good conversation about their hobby and the interviewer doesn’t get to ask all the behavioral/fit questions, I don’t think it should be too big of a deal. In general for interviews, if you’re having a good conversation and it goes over the time, that’s usually a good sign

Don’t overthink it. Your role is to be interested and their role is to ask questions. If they think your convo is going too much on a tangent, they know how to bring it back.

Think of it as you have 25 mins to tell them everything you want them to know (i.e., convince them you are the right person)…use your time wisely. (:

Your fit portion is unlikely to be 25 minutes long...

I had a very positive experience interviewing with Amazon for an L5 Technical Writer role. I originally applied for a lower level writing role, ending up acing my Loop, and was passed on to speak to the hiring manager for the L5 role.

Given the positive tone of our conversation, I expect to receive an offer this week.

Can somebody tell me what kind of base salary/bonus/RSU ranges I should aim for? I'm transitioning to tech and have 10+ years of professional writing experience. PNW based.
