M&A advisory? I would suggest that you know the applicable industry well and the related M&A key deals. In NY that would be finance and in Silicon Valley that would be tech and healthcare. You need to know why you want this job and what makes it a long term play for you. Finally you have to have a good grasp of the basic knowledge required, ie accounting and finance concepts.

Heyy people,

Couldn't attend this interview at PwC due to last minute technical difficulties. I requested HR to reschedule it. She said it's not possible this week and she'll try her best for the next week. I am really tensed, I don't want to throw away this opportunity. I was really looking forward for the interview. Would they really reschedule my interview?

I interviewed with the TBWA NY strategy team and they were the saddest people in the world.

Feeling like I’ve been “bait-and-switched”…

I’ve been interviewing at an agency with the intention of filling a Director role. Recruitment reached out soon after my last meet-and-greet interview (about 6 to 7 people total) to tell me the team thinks I would be best suited for an Associate Director role with a fast follow of a Director promotion.

Recruitment can’t tell me what feedback is creating this gap but also won’t stop mentioning the positive praise and feedback the team had for me.
