Please share, how to get prepared for interviews. Any mock interview available?

Accepting an offer in IBD, lateraling over from consulting. Opportunity of a lifetime for me so don’t want to lose it.
But timing is horrible. I joined the Army Reserves before this opportunity was on my radar. Interviewed over several months, got the offer, but shipping out in 1 month for training for 6 months.
Do I irreversibly shoot my career by joining and immediately going on LoA? I obviously haven’t mentioned it in the interview process. Or will this be forgotten a couple years in?

Case model test coming up. I have 2 hours to complete it. No specific details but would like to ask what you guys think it might be of and how I can best prepare? Thank you!!

Is applying a few days before the “Apply by” date too late? Do most decisions get made early on/they don’t wait for all applications before interviewing/hiring?

Recruiter ghosting? My partner interviewed for a lateral position with a mid-sized firm in mid-December. Went through whole process, multiple interviews, etc. (see below)

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

Last week I got automated call from infosys and asked few details . After that I got call from hr and said my interview is scheduled on next week and very next day one person called me and asked few technical questions .she said she's calling from infosys and this is technical screening round . Today same hr called and said she will be scheduling a client interview.

My doubt is till now I didn't received any mail from infosys. So this is scam or part of infosys interview process?

Anyone heard of stories re: Google rescinding verbal offers during this downturn? Went through onboarding process for an independent contractor role & passed compliance, BC, but still waiting on HR department for final green light for 1w (was told it’d take 2d) so not sure. In contact with hiring manager frequently.

I was not offered the role that I interviewed via email. How shall I respond (while leaving a positive impression) for future consideration?

Hi All! What does that mean when hiring manager responds back on follow-up email, saying “I’ll keep you posted on the next steps”Are they still considering or is it just a new way of rejection?waiting is so painful. :(

I am what I like to call an early career marketing profession. My experience is limited (some internships, temp jobs). I’m applying for full time marketing jobs. Any advice?

I have a coworker who keeps spouting comparative odds and situations in regards to the safety of the vaccine. Such as: you're twice as likely to get hit by lightening than have blod clots from JJ. It's very annoying and I find it to be really inapprorpriate, maybe because it's pushy or just I find these comparative things to be a bit irrelevant. How does one handle something like that? Can you shut the person down without starting a spat?

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

I’ve only slept with one person, my wife. I have not openly shared this with anyone because there’s a stigma that I “settled” or I don’t have numbers on the board like a man should. I’m not overly religious, so that was never a driver in the equation. I admit, I do think about the “what if” every once in awhile but I’m honestly getting to the age where I feel I’m beyond my prime anyhow.

Can someone explain the benefits package for Associate Directors at BCG. I hear health and 401k match is great, but any specifics will help. Also what is the average bonus and range low to high.

Those who tuned into KPMG town hall, thoughts?

Hi Citi Fishes,
Does Citi give hike and bonus always or it could be any one at the end of appraisal cycle ?

Well, my turn to feel like crap. Silently crying in the back of the Uber taking me home, where more hours of work await. Yeaaaah. That kind of day

Are any of you sleeping all the time? Like all the time? I wake up, get some coffee and then I have no idea what to do from there. I have no reason to be awake.

Any insights on BX London? Specifically the credit platform (ie the ex GSO guys). Culture/comp/near term roadmap?

I am looking for Data Analyst roles at a good company. I’ve been applying non stop and it hasn’t been working any tips on how I can be successful in the job search process?

Anyone familiar with Marsh & McLennan? Am I understating correctly that it’s the parent company of OW?

I probably always have had low lying depression (per my therapist) but I think my break up finally broke me. After two months, I'm not any better. So I'm hopping on medication for the first time. Day 5 of using Zoloft. How long before I should consider it is or isn't working?

Was told I’d only have one round (4 interviews), each split 50/50 on case/behavioral. This is for an Associate position and will be interviewing with AP/P/SP level. Is this typical? Since I see most people have multiple rounds.
