Just had an interview with a Senior Partner, was more of a chat and we got along really well. The interview ended with the partner saying they would get HR to set up a call for me with another member of the team. Any thoughts on this? I personally think its a bit weird to have an interview with a senior partner and then another team member?

Not even a little weird- incredibly standard. Good luck with it!

Thank you thats reassuring! Was wondering if I was being fobbed off!

It is standard - the second meeting with the team member is more likely to be a chat than an interview with formal questions. It’s more a “sense-check” for the team to see if you can get on with others. Good luck!

I am in the same position!
I reached out to the Partner about a position they were advertising and I let him know I wanted to discuss the opportunity and ask questions before submitting an application.
Best of luck with next steps.

Literally just went through same thing, the first interview is more of a screener. Then they set up interviews with others on the team if screener goes well. They wouldn’t waste other people’s time if screener didn’t think like you.

Exactly how my firm does it. Office Managing Partner’s personal preference is to screen to make sure the rest of the team only meets candidates we should seriously consider. Good luck!

Hello fellow PM's! I'am currently applying for new remote jobs and a few of the hiring processes include an interview with CTOs. What should I expect from that?

For context, it's not a technical PM jobs and the job description states that they are ok with Business Grads. I can do some python and SQL but mostly for data Analytics (Pandas and Numpy libraries for instance). I can also deal with HTML and CSS for website development but I would say I am a noob at this point.

Thanks a lot!

When it comes to your job search:

1) How often/much do you get feedback from recruiters or whoever you just spoke with? Feels like we're always in the dark. One way feedback street.

2) Who do you like to work with? Headhunters vs internalrecruiters? Is the experience different?

3) Have you had to align your interviews so that the offers would come in close/same day? What's your strategy?

4) What's your process in weighing [multiple] offers? If that ever happens? Where do you keep your notes?
