Is it normal to interview with the managing partner of a firm?

Recently I had interview with oracle oci and it went well but haven't heard back from HR , how long does it take to update the interview status. My interview completed last week Tuesday.

Had 2nd round with HM but noticed the job posting was pulled 2 days ago. Getting the vibe they’re planning to fill it internally. Any other telltale signs that’s the case?

Interviewing for Cyber Sec role. At very beginning they ask salary exp. I said usual way to postpone that question, and to figure out their range for role. On final interview and I mentioned 85-95k and they said it’s on the lower end for role…. Did I lowball myself?

Couldn’t get more info about sign on bonus, etc

Went back home to renew my visa. The interview was good, but been waiting for more than 5 biz days for my passport. Who should I contact this time? Should I be worry that it got lost?

Has anyone ever asked to renegotiate their salary after starting a job? I’m 2 months into my new job and I have far more responsibilities than what I was told. It’s a lot different than what was relayed in the posting and during the interviews. Additionally, they hired my counter part in as a senior manager which is at least $30k more than what I make. My peer has more experience so I expect that but I feel that I should be paid more, however I don’t want to leave a bad impression… any advice?

Boomer. I am in between jobs. Laid off in 10/21 after 16+ yrs, with an ABA firm. RIF. Still on excellent terms. Took my time living off generous package and didn’t seriously start applying until 01/22. Made a rookie mistake and accepted first offer.
Turns out job wasn’t as advertised. Mutual parting of ways 3/22. Due diligence is critical.
Now interviewing a LOT. Some temp work, I still have “it”. I relate to all gens. Willing to mentor AND learn from all. Tech savvy, CTE from day one. Leads?

What sort of work is considered corporate finance? This was referenced in a energy practice related interview and am not sure what sort of work that would entail.

Had two rounds of interviews for an in house role and really like the company/job. I followed up Friday regarding next steps and was told they are still interviewing and should be wrapping up soon. Advice on how to stay calm? I want the position and need to know if there’s a way to speed up the process.

With recession right in the corner, can we expect hiring freeze even for UX roles?

Is anyone willing to look over my resume to let me know if I’m qualified enough to be a consultant at Deloitte? TIA

Does anyone know where I can go for a short period of time to get a business work setup? Two monitors + keyboard + mouse and good WiFi? I have a timed case study coming up and would ideally go into the office to do it but it is closed and i don’t have a good wfh setup.

Looking to move to SG from US for personal reasons. Does anyone have a headhunter that they’d recommend? Experience in consulting and HF. Thanks

Hi Everyone! I’ll be interviewing with KPMG as an S1 in tax for their NYC and Stamford offices. Can anyone tell me about busy season hours and general culture? Thank you very much!

I have 2 years consulting experience, but left to work on my own business for the past year. Now I have sold my business and I am wanting to re-enter the finance industry. Where should I be applying?

I moved to the Netherlands 3 months ago on a spouse visa. Was working with EY-P earlier. I have been applying to jobs and giving interviews but for some reason things are not working out. I get a different reason everytime (after going through the whole process). This has never happened earlier in life and now I don't know what else to do. I have worked as a strategy consultant (& a researcher). Should I change lines? Where else can I try?
I can't apply to boutique firms since Dutch is mandatory

My company cut staff to 4 days/wk to save funds. I was getting requests from coworkers for docs needed urgently on our day off (fridays). I would oblige them. But then, I learned that those same coworkers had been put back to 5 days because they were deemed “essential“. I felt foolish and decided to stop working on fridays. One EVP (not the GC) in particular has been aggressively texting/calling me on fridays. How Do I tactfully respond? My out-of-office email is not enough of a hint...

OK 🐠. Recommendations on solid/reputable places to buy watches online? Jomashop? Ash ford?

Whenever I think I make decent money, I come to this bowl and read recommendations on shoes, luggage, etc.

Which one should I go for?

1. Oracle - 18.3 LPA fixed + probable bonus (I may or may not get)
2. Amadeus - 18 fixed + 1.5 variable.

Amadeus is also giving joining bonus of 75k. Amadeus is paying more, may give better hikes too, but I am finding it hard to let go off Oracle's brand name on my resume even if it's means around 2L less over an year. I am planning to work for atleast 3 years in my next company.

What would you have done in my place? Should I go for Oracle or Amadeus?

Hello Fishes and Shark, For Murex roles is it better to go for foreign banks as a BA or PWC as BA?
Honest opinions would matter a lot. Thanks.

Laid off, any tips on how to gain experience/sharpen resume while job searching? I was in a project management support analyst role/ Venture capital sales role. I’m thinking of getting certifications to increase marketability

For those taking the CFA exams this Saturday, do you feel prepared? Thinking of postponing mine.

Has anyone lost a job opportunity because your counter offer was too high?

Cognizant calls me twice in a week whether I am holding any other offer or not.

Does that mean they will match if I am holding another offer?

Really struggling with attrition right now and we seem to be a cycle of countering people, trying to keep governance but being reactive! Any ideas on a reward strategy which enables us to be flexible when we need it but retain a degree of control so it doesn’t get out of control?

Which is better in ZS vs Eli Lilly across work, culture, WLB and growth. WLB being the most important since I have other plans in life. I have heard the growth at Lilly is slow but can someone give more clarity around growth. How will the hikes look like?
How much can I expect? I have 2 YOE.

I need your suggestions plz

How do you deal with a Midlevel who tells the partner you’ll cover for them, but gives you less than 24 hours notice they’ll be gone without asking if you can cover? I helped out back on July on a deal with they were on vacation, and now every vacation since they keep adding me back on without keeping me appraised of the deal in the interim

What is your suggested approach at working with a socially misguided partner? Ignore/Let it slide? Throw it back?

Has anyone here work(ed) at Linklaters? What is it like ?

What does it mean if there’s a NEP at the firm who’s been there for a long time (20+ years), but never got promoted to EP? Never held leadership roles too. Does it usually mean EPs does not like the NEP enough to get promoted?

The NEP has a book of business, though no idea how much it brings in.

Best backup plans if you get fired from a Big Law firm within a year or two after graduating? Go to a non-BL firm and then try to lateral back into BL?

When should a stub start getting worried about not having much work and low billable hours?
I’ve asked for work but no luck. I know they say this is normal for a stub but when should I start getting worried and consider looking for exit options? Fyi, I like my practice group, so I don’t want to change to a different group within my firm, hence would have to lateral, if I have to. Also, other co-1st years are churning in high hours.

What do you wear when your firm sends you to do law school recruitment? (I’m a woman fwiw)

Stop asking if we can unionize after being asked to work over the weekend.

Corporate associates — do you feel it’s harder to meet hours vs your litigation counterparts? Billing in increments of 0.10 vs driving to the courthouse that can be billed in large chunks, as an example (pre-covid obvi)

Looking for some encouragement. Has anyone here received an overall negative performance review or has been put on a development/performance plan and was able to turn things around for the better?

First year here. Do associates get fired for not meeting the billable requirements?

Has anyone taken a stealth vacation (i.e. went on a trip but didn’t officially take time off)? Did it work out?

I can’t stand people that brag about how busy they are or how late they stayed up doing X. They may think they’re just complaining, but the sanctimonious tone is unbearable. I promise you, no one is impressed. You are the problem with this industry.

Insight on Kilpatrick Townsend NY?

Could we throw some names of “lifestyle firms”/ firms where you can have a life apart from work?

About to finish my first year. I’m a specialist. Only going to hit 65% of my hours (took a 4 week vacation cause of wedding/hm).

I never say no to work and i have fantastic reviews, and the head of my practice (with whom I work a lot for) has great things to say about me.

I’ve been fully utilized starting ~June, but first few months were slow. Am i fine?!

I wish I had even a tiny fraction of the energy I had when I first started this job

Corporate ➡️ tech transactions/commercial. Anyone done the transition? Any advice for how to best position yourself to make the jump, either by laterling to a new firm or jumping practice groups within the same firm?

What questions should senior associates be asking to get a better assessment of partnership prospects? For context, I’m eligible this year as an 8th year, but it’s more common to make it around years 10-11 at my firm (only equity partners), and I’m trying to determine whether to stick around or lateral before I’m too senior. I’m in a smaller group that historically promotes only one new partner every few years, and there are several others also eligible. Any questions I should avoid asking?

When do you switch from first-year to second-year at your firm in terms of salary - at the end of the firm’s fiscal year or January 1? For context, my firm’s fiscal year ends in November and the annual billing requirements restart then.
