Just had a telephone interview for a role at a boutique consulting firm which was under 10 mins, all the recruiter asked me about was my career journey and why the company. She put in 30 mins. The recruiter has said that they will create a profile of me and pitch it to the MD of the firm to get his steer on whether I can progress in the application process. What does this mean? Is this a sign I bombed the interview? Has this happened to anyone before?

that’s a screening call not an interview and therefore hard to bomb :)

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company.

Deciding on a career path

I feel like my brain works like a consultant, and I would enjoy consulting, but I also looove all things finance & investing. While I don’t necessarily have extensive experience in the field (most of what I know is self taught, my major is accounting), I want to get involved in it somehow and learn more.

I currently work in audit, I’m not sure what exit opportunities are an option for me for the investing/finance industry. Feel like chances are are slim. Any advice?

Hi Editors!
What did your transition from AE to editor look like?

5 months ago I joined an advertising post house as a full-time AE. Through the support of a lead editor at the company I found my way into making cuts for the company’s most prestigious client. At this point, I’ve been the sole editor of one global campaign and a co-editor of another, in addition to cutting many social media videos. It’s only 5 months but I can’t help feel that my title doesn’t reflect the work I actually do.
