When you say "more intense", fits that mean it's work for more than one person?

Do you see opportunity? Are you learning? Can you (do you want to) personally sacrifice in the short term? Then see what comes. If the answer to any of those questions is no, get working on your resume.

Are you capable of the job? If so, ask for it

If you are a partner and you're not up to it, why are you a partner? Can't you lead or guide the team to take over?

Got the invite for final rounds for SFA. Please help!

1) How do I ACE this? Rinse and repeat on PS1/PS2 prep or do more?
2) What can I expect - It’s on Chime and not in person.
3) They’re asking for salary expectations & I found out via research that the recruiter quoted median TC but I’d like top TC (200). Do I need to explain why my expectations changed?
4) Is there value in attending the Pre Recruiter Call/ Candid Calls?
5) How do they expect ppl to take a full day off for “maybe”?

TIA!

Whatever you’re doing, wherever you are: get up and move even if you don’t finish or end up going on a walk. Pls take care of yourself❤️
