Very difficult to answer without knowing the office. I worked at 3 EY offices before moving to KPMG, and have worked at 2 offices here. I’ve been astounded how much variation there is between markets.

EY is right to try to get an interview with Deloitte. But keep in mind, it’s my understanding that their culture is very different than EY or KPMG.

I’ve heard that the work environment at Deloitte is more competitive. Some people thrive in that environment and some people can’t stand it, so do what’s right for you!

Which office? I like EY definitely compared to KPMG but if we were comparing to Deloitte that would be something else

Should I disclose or hide the fact that I am on maternity leave? I have an interview with a big law firm in NY. I’m currently working for a law firm in Atlanta. I imagine I will be asked whether I have returned to the office or working remotely from NY. My husband and I have been living in New York since the pandemic to be near family. My current firm asked everyone to go back last week but since I am on leave I didn’t have to. I want to avoid lying without jeopardizing my chances.

Hello! I see a ton of questions in here about interviewing and getting hired as a PM. I also know that it’s really hard as a manager to hire a great team. I’m the head of product at a growing startup, and just hired two PMs in 3 months. One a career switcher who’d never been a PM before, and one a seasoned principal PM. Whether you are someone who’s interviewing or someone who’s hiring right now, ask me anything!

Need a read on this.

MM shop, inv team role, I did a final round last week (my XXth IV so far) with one of the GPs. I honestly thought it went great. Haven’t heard a thing since though. Recruiter thinks I’m still in it cause of Christmas-Hol.
