Seeking your golden advice that I wouldn’t get elsewhere. Made associate recently at Kearney, and interviewing with OW for the associate position. What are the qualities or traits or things you as an interviewer would want to see in a top candidate? Context: HR told me I will be evaluated for either Senior Consultant or Associate since I just got promoted in Kearney and don’t have a lot of tenure in the associate rank. Thanks a lot.

funny how firms make you wait for promo, prove yourself, make you perform at next level, then once you get it, external firms question it 😂

That HR person is a piece of work. If Kearney thinks you should be an associate, then a similar tier firm like OW shouldn’t question it. Imagine grinding to the post-MBA level again.

If you’re currently at a less prestigious office, then more context is needed

Just show confidence and some level of (well-behaved) entitlement.
HR officers are just trying to save money for their firms, but at the end of the day if they are recruiting for associates then they have the budget for it.
Associates at the end of the day are SBAs with some additional managerial responsibilities at workstream level (managing self and managing others) so that's what you need to highlight. Both real life examples and your confident attitude should deliver that message.

Hi all,

After the final interview, HR reached out and said they would like to extend an offer. HR gave a ball park of 135k - 145k base with about 15k in sign-on equity and 20k annual bonus.

After a couple of days, HR person came back with with 125k base and 20k annual bonus. No sign-on equity anymore. What should I do given that these numbers seem way lower than the initial range provided? HR claimed it’s because of “market conditions”.
