Both are critical. Firms have people who do poorly on one or the other - the person who nails both is the one we fight to bring into the firm.

They all matter. Though if you pooch the tech round round the other two can channel you to a suitable practice.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
