The worst

My case presentation for Apple I was given 48 hrs and I’ll say it’s probably what pushed me over in terms of landing the job so glad I took the time off and focused on it. After the fact I spoke with the hiring manager and she shared that it was by far one of the most polished decks she’d seen and the level of detail and thought I put into it was impressive considering it was a hypothetical prompt.

I’m starting my new gig on Monday so all this to say it’s up to you how much you care about landing the role and making a good impression with the team.

@AC1 - Going to be moving into a Product Management role there

Yes

Yes

A boutique IB once asked me to complete a model test in 2.5 hours live on a MS Teams call. I submitted a mostly finished model and never heard back from them.

Two friends of mine were asked to complete a short teaser and balance sheet reclassification in an hour for an M&A boutique.

It was a frigging face off, they both were on a teams meeting with cameras on with the two interviewers.

If you’re good at something, never do it for free

No. You’re providing free labor. Disgusting practice by firms. This is the experienced professional equivalent of an unpaid internship.

If the firm wants me to do a case with their staff present during the interview, Ok. But I’m not doing a free case.

I was interviewed for a perticular customer, which went well and also received an offer. Few days before of my joining date, i came to know that the technology stack from customer got changed and customer had no requirement for which i was hired. However parent company still hired me and now they're in process of allocating me in some other clients. Sometimes i feel insecure about this situation. How to cope up with such cases?

I’ve recently left my job (unhappy with it) and am applying for new work. I have a few irons in the fire at the moment. I’m curious about a trend I am seeing: I like to think I’ve well documented my abilities and functions in my CV, as well as my portfolio. I’ve noticed that for some of these jobs that I can check every single box in the job description, I won’t even get an interview. I’m wondering if many of these jobs are posted for internal hires, but some stay open for weeks. What gives?

I recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected.

From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?
