Just went through the 6th interview for a single company - 4 by phone, 2 in person. I feel like I'm either joining the CIA or being pranked by on a really sad reality show. 🙄

Maybe they are trying to find out what a creative strategist does.

American? Even in Canada, a real entry-level meets with 8ish. Interns we pick ourselves, and we decide if they stay. But I've had an instance not too long ago where an assistant made it through all 8, & was terrible....

Could also mean that they have some kind of trouble with the funds from the mamma company and they are trying to keep your interest until they get a green light. Or, they are on the fence and need reassurance from the others on the team? 4-6 for a bigger company that a friend didn't get you in to is nothing to be worried about yet.

Wait is this not normal for everyone else? I've had no less than 2 phone screens and 4-6 interviews to work at one agency. Smh strategists have to interview with everyone from Group Acct Director to Office Services.

It is really really hard to hire a good strategist. I'd rather take a long time to hire the right person than quickly pull the trigger on someone I'm unsure of.

Also, the more people you meet in the org the more advocates for your needs. Want a $10k bump in the negotiations? When the lead on the account AND the Strat lead say they need you, we can usually make the money happen.

I met with 13 people once which was actually good since I got a full picture of the team I'd be working with. They were all awesome

Been there. I thought I was going to be the CEO's right hand with so many interviews.

Am i making a mistake to ask and confirm about NP even before my offer letter or its ok to just enquire what's the process and possibility to reduce NP as we have buyout option too.

I found a company I was really excited about working at. I applied for the job and went through 5 rounds of interviews. At the end they said I was OVER qualified and they want me for a different position higher up in the company. I was super excited they then had me go through 5 more rounds, 3/5 people were the same. The interviews mostly went "didn't you get the job, I highly recommend you? I'll just put you down as a 10". After those were done they told me I was UNDER qualified. Can't win!
