Sure but probably going to be hard to find at B4, T2, or MBB. Smaller, niche firms would be your best bet if that’s what you’re after in my opinion

I mean it’s hard to imagine any job (consulting or otherwise) where you won’t at least occasionally be asked to work over 40 hours per week.

Occasionally is fine but i see a trend that no one works under 40 hours at all and everyone just does 50is

I wanted to get people's opinions on leetcode, codewars etc when prepping for interviews. I am a junior full stack dev looking to move to a better paying junior role or a mid role and honestly these style of questions have always stumped me. I have found that in a year of work to have never found them useful in tackling real world issues. Now I'm moving from a junior to a mid can I still expect leetcode style questions?

I work mainly with react, TS, node, graphql, mongoose and mongoDB.

So I recently interviewed for an associate PM role with my current company. I’ve been a store manager with them for 11 years. During the interviews, I felt like things were growing great and the feedback I got at the end was great. You’d think given my time knowing the product/ company for so long, that I’d be a great fit but I got rejected and haven’t gotten feedback probably will get ghosted. Should I shoot my shot and advocate for myself with the hiring manager either way?
