I hear you. I'm interviewing for 1 company where they want me to meet with their SVP Creative Director and their Art Director, which isn't bad. I feel like an interview with 2 people is more like a conversation. On the other hand, I am scheduling an "interview" with another agency that wants me to meet with 4 people in successive 30-minute blocks. I'm really tempted to just withdraw from the latter because I think it's serious overkill.

Totally agree. Take a deep breath and remember they are the ones that need to fill a role, so they are eager to find a match and make it work. There is no one in the world just like you, so own it and talk about why YOU are an asset with your unique experiences and capabilities. Not all roles will be a fit, but you will find the right one. Remember to show you want the role (if you do). I think that goes a long way in interviews. And, honestly, my worst interviews have been the ones where I wasn’t that excited about the role and it showed. At the end of the day, practice makes perfect with interviewing. If one doesn’t go well, brush it off, tweak a few things and go in confident to the next. Good luck, OP!

Hello people, how common is a Amazon to PWC move ?
I’m interviewing for a Senior Associate role and TC seems to be more competitive than role in L5.

TC $135k Base PWC -$81$ + Bonuses ( 50k$)

Looking for managerial skills which the PWC role avails, and L6 promo doesn’t seem to be happening soon in current role. I’m also mentally stretched. I hear WLB in PWC is just as busy but can anyone confirm if this move makes any sense. Google Amazon

UPDATE (RE: SoCal Assistant Controller Interview)

So after two weeks of waiting (and giving up on the idea of getting the job really), the recruiter got back to me.

They said due to month-end and quarter-end close they were busy and couldn’t get back to me as quickly for a “good update”.

The recruiter said the CFO enjoyed our call, she, the CFO, will call me next week directly to “discuss some final things”.

Not sure if Im hired or not, but are there any questions about the job, comp (cont.)

I really want to give up and just sit and hope for a miracle at this point. Can anyone relate? How are you keeping faith? Any tips or tricks?
