McKinsey & Company McKinsey & Company I finished my round two interviews yesterday, while two went really good ( 1 with partner and second with an expert), the third interview was not ideal. The big issues was understanding the graphs as it was quite complex. However, I finished the case, but the performance was not as good as the first two. Do you think I will still make it or no?

CFP study programs:

I'm a little confused on Danko - does he offer a self-study option for the coursework requirement? On his website it looks like each module has a 4-day virtual class which I wouldn't be able to attend due to working full time. Does this program also include self-study material, and the classes are just supplementary/optional? I was also looking at Dalton for self-study and Danko for test prep. Thoughts?

TIA

I have been working remotely since covid getting nothing but positive reviews. My company is not remote friendly and is now telling me I have to return to the office or I lose my job. I just found out a co-worker had a remote position created for them, without a job posting, without an interview and without the experience required (normally a license or certification would be mandatory). I understand life isn’t fair but is there an ethical problem with this?

Hi,
What can I read for a Cloud Migration Consultant - AI/ML role as my 1st round of interview is scheduled.
I have 0 knowledge in Cloud and System Design and these 2 are also a key component to test in RRK.
When I asked recruiter that I do not have any knowledge he replied with then you would not be asses on these areas but rather on ML and Project Management.
What I am doubtful is how they can comprise with requirements?

Interview tomorrow for a tax associate opening at RSM. Been working in a mid-size city (different firm) that is about 70 minutes from this new home office in a larger metro.

Don’t want to drive 700 miles per week M-F. What will dual model be like going forward? 1-2 times week, 4-5 month? Seems like tax was more flexible than audit pre-Covid

Hi I have asked to be an advisor for a startup. Its in its very early stage pre pre-seed. Its looking like weekly strategy calls and possibly some executional work as well. Like building out a sales process and/or training sales and marketing team members (this might be 1-3hr a week of work).

They are offering 1.5-3.5%. — I am wondering if that’s enough.

In addition to this the founder mentioned that he would like me to consider becoming a co-founder.
