Sad that I just bombed a case interview and realized how mentally blocked I get when I start to stress and feel pressured

Just sucks overall when you know these things but just can’t think straight

Just had something similar happen to me today....feeling down

OP sorry to hear. May I ask how do you know you bombed it? I just had a case interview last week as well and I honestly couldn’t tell how good/bad I did (I haven’t done a case interview for years and was prepping hard with books like Case in Point and Victor Chang)

If it makes you feel better plenty of people (myself included) have experienced the same thing. I’m sure the right opportunity will still come though and you’ll kill it!

Same thing happened to me today, have been feeling bummed all day. Keep your head up.. experiences like this will only benefit you in the long run! Good luck in your job search - cheering you on!

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Hi fishes, in a dilemma....switched to a Big4 from MNC(almost 7 years of exp) in April 2020. The pay was normalised at 15.5LPA. Will get the package revised next month to 16.25 LPA. Now Deloitte has approached, so can I ask for 30%pay hike considering the switch will happen after completing almost 11-12 months in my current organization or can I ask for more than 30%, depending if I get a senior consultant or manager role? Also will the switch within a year have any negative impact?

Ex-consultant now in marketing. Used to be an avid follower here and got great insights on companies when trying to exit consulting so thought I’d try here for advice.

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good?
