It's pretty straightforward math: structure your math up front in words, run the numbers, then interpret in the context of the case. Best prep would probably be to try to structure out business math problems and invent numbers to multiply together. Be able to use decimals, percentages, etc.

Two recruiters have told me that specific major national firms refuse to interview any current or former employees of the firm I work for. is this a big problem or something usual for firms?

I applied for a position at a creative agency via LinkedIn. I'm not excited about agency work but job hunting hasn't been going well and I applied anyway. They reached out and would like to interview. But when I went to look over the job details again, I found their listing on ZipCruiter gives a pay range, which at their high end is $20k less than my minimum salary reqs. Should I still interview with them? If not, how can I politely reply and decline the interview?

I am in my last round of an interview process and will meet the entire team spending a few hours with them in the office. Business professional & resume copies ...what else? It's my first in the US, so a bit nervous, but in general confident and relaxed. 😎
What should I pay special attention to? Any ideas what questions I should prepare and what would they appreciate from my side?

Has anyone been in this situation or was part of the team? Pls share your insights with me!TY

Crowdsourcing perspective. Had an advisor help me negotiate my new job offer behind the scenes. They were not compensated at all but we have a good working relationship (we have helped each other over decade+). What would be a nice gift to acknowledge/appreciate the help?
