My final round of interviews with McKinsey is on Friday. I made good progress, but I still feel unprepared.. or at least not meeting the bar, in my subjective opinion. What can I do to increase confidence and focus? Should I just wing it at my current project and try to practice with somebody as many times as I can? TIA

Don’t case the day of, id say get in good casing in the next two days and take thursday easier.

honestly this is harder than casing as there are no practices you can do… it’s probably too late to work on people skills but be sure to be a good communicator and storyteller + a sense of humor!!

A huge part of the interview is creative problem solving and demonstrated good social skills. Sleep is your friend. Whatever you do make sure you are well rested and as healthy as possible going into the interview.

How did it go? I'm sure you nailed it!

Beginning to think I structured a (freelance) project poorly. Deliverables are 3-5 T-shirt designs, which will *also* serve as part of foundation for their existing branding.
I’m working at my hourly rate, and delivered several concept sketches. Since they want to use these designs for multiple swag items beyond T-shirts, should I have included licensing fees per usage (mugs, etc), or just raised my hrly rate? Or just do flat rate per concept that details usage options?
Sorry so detailed! TIA!

I faked my resume I mean my contracting firm did and I didn’t have choice and I got the job. Now my client wants to offer me a full time position.

I know it’s a little unusual but what do you guys think/suggest me to do in this situation?!

I had a hectic last three months working up to 16 hours a day due to my project. During this time I took advantage of convenient food which isn’t always the best. Now that things have died down I am having trouble switching from the less convenient food, snaking more than I should and not being as active as I was during the three months previously. I haven’t found what I need to motivate myself and I’m hoping that others could share what motivates them to get back into it after a hectic time

I recently had an interview with a very promising pre-IPO company in the AI/ML space for a SE leadership position. The interview feedback was better than I expected, but with a twist. They have already given the offer to someone else, but they still want to bring me on board and they asked me what I would like to do. I am in the process of gathering more info, but it is tempting to ask about pivoting into product management. What would you do in this situation?
