I tried to switch service lines a few years ago and forensics only wanted audit experience with a CPA. They didn't even care about the CFE.

Next week I’m having my first lateral interview as a junior associate. I’m very nervous because the group with whom I’m interviewing works with life science/tech clients and the attorneys have strong science/tech backgrounds; and I do not.

I just started looking for a job and made some profiles on various job boards. I'm getting a lot of emails from recruiters that look like this.

Hi,
My HR discussion with
Cognizant is scheduled.
Is this going to be a salary discussion or questions like strength and weakness, why do you want to join etc?

If you see an open job posting at a company you want to work for, what steps do you take to apply? I’ve been told that cold applying and making no contacts is usually not going to lead to anything, and that’s been true in my experience. But should I reach out to someone first? Should i apply and then email someone? In HR? Or someone who’d be directly supervising me? Or someone at my level? And what should i say? Thanks!
