Nothing is more annoying than when a SM/PL/P sits on a stakeholder interview only to interrupt my line of questioning for some tirade about their insight or expertise.

Let. The. Client. Talk.

I think this is a valid grievance though. The objective is to listen from the client, stop interrupting to flex your muscles. There is other time for that

Happens. Suck it up.

Listen now flex later. Also, let the interrupter know that as well before the meeting

Quiet you

Hmm. You gotta look at both sides. I’ve been in numerous situations where the client gave a post-meeting feedback about asking what has already been told. You may be new to this client or project, but clients put the entire consulting vendor in single bucket. Now, it’s a different challenge that some seniors stretch the intervention too far

I'm with you OP... Like we get it you have experience... It's not about you right now ugh

It’s always about me when I’m in the room. Joking aside and possibly stating the obvious but client interviews are also about relationship building, not just extracting info

I applied for a job at Visa and was contacted the same day. A few days later I had a 30-minute screening interview with the hiring manager. I knew I was very early in the process since the job had only been posted for a few days. It's been 3 weeks and I haven't heard back, even after reaching out to the recruiter. Have I been ghosted or is there still hope? Does anyone at Visa have insights? Looks like there are a ton of jobs posted so maybe they are just backed up?

Can someone explain the difference between FB’s Partner Solutions Manager and the Strategic Partner Manager?

Asking for a friend:
My friend received two job offers for Account Executive roles: a Mid-Market role with Confluent and an Enterprise role with ThoughtSpot. He’s conflicted because Confluent is a more established company, ThoughtSpot is Pre-IPO. Confluent is a lucrative product to sell and has established SDR reps so there’s a good blend of inbound and outbound sales. Thoughtspot is more of a startup culture where most of the sales comes from outbound and it’s a tougher sell.

She’s gone and the new VP starts tomorrow. Any guidance on how to ensure this ends with the incumbent VP?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
