People who have interviewed for experienced positions for consulting or industry. What's it like at a more junior/"senior associate/ level with low YOE. Like how do you usually prepare for the interview?

I've only done on-campus hire interviews so it was just basic behavioral stuff.

Unless it is SM, Director or Partner, the interview process is very similar. You will get multiple rounds and case(s). This only apply to to consulting.

For industry roles, expect at least 3 interviews with a mix of technical and fit based questions.

Usually much more focus on your experience and what you’ve done to date. Also, usually case studies and how you apply your thinking and articulate responses etc. I think they also like when you have a clear direction of where you want your career to go…

Hi Guys,

I have completed my tech interview rounds with UBS and have received email for fitment round.

Can anyone share what happens in this fitment round on interview?
HRs have asked to submit documents even before this fitment round; which seems unusual. Is this normal for UBS and this is how they progress?

Thank you.

Feeling under-qualified for non-FAANG tech product counsel role. Final interview upcoming. I'm a BigLaw junior and pivoted to data privacy/cybersecurity a year ago.

Is this just normal impostor syndrome? Does anyone feel truly *prepared* to go in-house? I have little to no experience advising on product and do mostly incident response, but this seems like a unicorn-level opportunity I can't pass up (great comp, role, and willing to hire me, a junior).

Any insight is deeply appreciated.

I had a first interview last Tuesday with Amazon, which I think went well, although I still haven't heard back 6 days later and then got an OOO annual leave msg and a no response when I chased up the named colleague today. Is this typical behaviour others have experienced when dealing with the big tech company recruiters? I found Google and Facebook recruiters to be efficient and TikTok so-so, if not a little slow, but 6 days+ seems poor.
