You should definitely cram before and present yourself well during interviews (seems like you really like this role/firm).
Follow the mantra of our EY PPMDs: Fake it till you make it. Don’t think about what happens if you don’t (make it). Live the rest of your years out in ignorant bliss, while throwing additional work on your subordinates (see FSO DnA)
...be my new line manager. She spoke me through the role in depth, and although I have a good understanding of 60% of the role, the other 40% I’ve never had experience in. Now I’m panicking a bit as the company is a great company, insane benefits and great culture and I’d really love to work for them. However I’m freaking a little as I feel I’m going to be really out of my depth. I have another interview with the global director of the area I’m in next week. Do I just be completely upfront? Or do I try and learn as much ahead of the interview and learn quickly if/when I get it? Feel like I’ll be living with imposter syndrome for a year or so! Thanks in advance!
Fake it until you make it.
60% is pretty solid. You can learn the rest on the job.
M1 is right. I just started a project at a major bank and only knew 50% of the subject matter. Totally up to speed 3-months in and leading calls on my own
No one hires a candidate with the expectation that they’ll have 100% of the skills and knowledge for the job on day 1. Demonstrate your ability and willingness to learn, your self-awareness in where you’ll need to put in extra effort to upskill, and your drive. Oh, and be confident :)
