Suddenly gettting interviews from big box Chicago agencies - what are good questions to figure out culture fit? I've only worked at mid-sized agencies but don't want to sacrifice a solid team dynamic.

How would you describe the culture in three words/a sentence? What types of people succeed here? What are the top traits of the most successful leaders? What is the opportunity for career progression/what paths? Why do you (interviewer) love this company?

“Talk me into working here. Give me your best pitch.” Then I ask “Now please talk me out of working here. What’s obnoxious? What should send me running for the hills.”

What are some fun traditions at your agency?

I feel like good culture expresses itself in what the people there try to keep going.

I need help!!! Got an offer for Citi Private Bank at 110k for an Associate Banker (A1) position. Considering all the bulge brackets just announced 100k base for 1st year Analysts and that every year you go up 5k, that makes me feel like they are trying to lowball. I stupidly gave a salary range during the interview of 110-140k, cuz I was guessing, but I know JPM pays 130k base for the same role. How do I get myself to 130? First time negotiating, any advice appreciated!!!

My current role started out as a way to increase my skills, but for the past year the majority of what I’ve done is transcribing data between systems, which is one of the things I’m very bad at.

I had a good reputation in the company before this, but now every day I feel like a failure because I keep making mistakes.

Has anyone else gone back to relying more on public transportation with the surging Uber / Lyft prices.

I haven’t taken buses and trains much since I’ve graduated but now it just feels like I’m throwing money out the window by not making the switch back.
