I just left audit for an financial analyst role. It’s doable, just be ready to speak to why you want to switch and try to illustrate the parts of your background that lend itself to moving into that role. Also be prepared for having to do a take home case study (as long as your decent at excel, shouldn’t be a problem).

Awesome! Thank you very much!

Bad at case interviews... Ugh. Does this mean I won't be a good fit for strategy related roles?

Hello there. I have been interviewing with Okta and got through all 5 rounds of interviews. They say they want to offer me the job but there is a global freeze for all marketing roles at the company. They want to offer me a contractor role instead. Does anyone here know if that is the case? I haven't heard anything as they seem be on wellness week. Thanks for any guidance :)

I have an upcoming final round interview for an M&A role and I’m considering reaching out to someone on the broader M&A team thru LinkedIn (who I’m not interviewing with) to get a sense of the team and culture. If I were to get the job, this would be a peer of mine. I’m also hoping this may help me gain insights for the final round. Any chance reaching out to someone on the side could hurt my candidacy? Should I just wait until after the final round? FWIW, we do have a few shared connections.

Any advice?
