Need advice for an interview for a mid-level consulting position with a partner tomorrow. From what I understand it will be an hour long behavioral interview which I think is pretty long. First interview was a pretty straightforward behavioral interview with a director. Not sure what to expect. Any questions I should ask in particular?

To prepare, run through a series of behavioral questions on your own and write out your answers. Make sure to vary your responses so you don’t keep pulling from the same project/ position.

As for what to ask...partners have a unique perspective. Use that to your advantage, ask them about where they see the business growing, what the firm is investing in, talk about how technology will impact the business in the next 5-10 years. Ask them what they like most about the firm. Or what their one piece of advice would be for someone joining.

Hey y’all. Got to final interviews for a marketing role and was asked to pitch. Not the 1st in my career. But instead of feeling like a strategic assessment - it felt like a fishing expedition...

Quitting before finalizing offers?

I’m at post onsite and negotiation stage at a couple places but it may take another month or 2 due to either hiring freezes or general slow processes.

I want to quit now to go on vacations that I held off during prep. Does it make much difference when I negotiate offers? Like if my upcoming unvested RSU would be (partially) matched, and they find out I quit somehow, is it no longer matched? Other potential snags?

Already burned most of my PTO interviewing.

All, this is my first post and I just want to share that I passed the first Amazon interview for Technical Program Manager and am heading to on-site virtual interviews! I have 20 years of corporate tech in a traditional F500 company (top 50). The only thing I can say that I like about my current job is the work-life balance and some of the people. But the work itself is soul crushing and the industry is stagnant. To those who are 40+ years old, is it crazy to change now?

Hi all.
Pretty disappointed now as my request for a counter offer revision in IBM has been rejected by the business team. I have an offer of 14.41 in a Big4(Fixed: 11,variable 3:41) & IBM is offering me Fixed 12.5(including retirals-13.31).

Sad part is they are considering only fixed part for revision & r saying that we r offering you more than ur fixed. They r saying u will get variable on top of this. In reality, IBM hardly gives any variable.
Guys, is there still a way to revise the offer?
