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

Best of luck!!

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.

Hey All,
I finished a third round interview, and HR contacted me that afternoon saying I had positive feedback across the board and they would contact me the next day regarding next steps. It’s been two days and they finally get back to me saying they haven’t been able to sync with the hiring manager but will keep me posted. Honestly I wish they would talk with the hiring manager and then let me know the decision instead of checking in. It’s messing with my emotions.

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
