Looking for a piece of advice.
I am interviewing for an investment advisor role in a reputed bank in Canada. I was asked to prepare a business plan and how do I plan to improve business in the first 30/90/365 days if offered a job.
I am interviewing for multiple jobs right now and didn't come across such a request elsewhere. Do you think it is worth spending time on preparing powerpoint presentation where you never know if you will hear back from the company after the presentation?

If it’s a company you really want to work at yes. If you’re not really interested don’t waste your time.

Sounds like a commissioned investment advisor role. So the business plan is integral to you being successful after your temporary salary period ends.

I’ve had radio silence from a small investment bank for about a week now. I’ve completed several rounds of interviews, but last Thursday the firm reposted the job I’ve been interviewing for. On Friday the headhunter said that they’re not sourcing new candidates and it’s probably just LinkedIn automatically refreshing the listing. She said they had a busy week last week but will make a final decision this week - is the delay and radio silence a bad sign or is this typical for experienced hiring?

Company B just sent me a request for interview and I want to keep the door open with Company B but they were just very late in extending an interview.

Wrong, I spend weeks following up with other teams, often times they forgot what we discussed, so I spent 50% if the time reminding them of the topics and next steps. I spend most of my time writing memos no one will read.
