Point B asks for a redacted deck you’ve worked on in your current role for the interview process. Even redacted, this feels illegal?

A1– Point B was the only firm who asked for this— I had a few friends who instead offered to draw up 1-2 slides on a topic of the firm’s choice. Don’t know anyone who actually shared a client deck.

That's not against the law, but it's super sketchy.

Even if not illegal, it’s profoundly unethical. No way I’d work for a firm that asked that.

How is this possible?
At KPMG, we are not allowed to send out the engagement decks out to personal emails or upload to unapproved sites.
They are actively monitored.
So in that case, what would anyone do?

It’s the B team is what it is

I seriously doubt they asked for a “deck” specifically. The ask was more likely for a sample deliverable you’ve done in the past (project plan, Gantt chart, charter, communications plan, etc). It can literally be an excel doc with “Abc” written in every cell. The goal is to see how you structure deliverables and your work. Trust me, nobody’s interested in looking at your old PPT decks 😂

It doesn’t matter what kind of ‘document’ it is. It’s IP owned by the firm under which it was produced.

They ask you to present it, not to send it. So it never leaves your possession. And they ask that you change all party names, identifiers and significant details out. You really are just presenting a template of a doc.

Just present something that is yours to present. As in, not work that you stole from the office.

Besides that, they state that they totally understand if you don’t have something to share.. and to just make up something.

They just want a sense of what you deliver and to see how well you present.

I did it. Heavily redacted…

Super heavily redacted is probably OK.
