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.

Interview tomorrow for a tax associate opening at RSM. Been working in a mid-size city (different firm) that is about 70 minutes from this new home office in a larger metro. How flexible is WFH or dual model going forward post Covid? Am interested in this position and going to tax, but not be able to relocate for family reasons. Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid
