Does a small math mistake really kill your interview? Assuming everything else is pretty good i.e. your framework, structure etc and behavioral part too

Big feels. I studied for ages for a final round LEK interview and bombed the simple math behind my case.

I took Calc 2 in high school, and love doing mental math- as far back as i can remember, I have never, ever made a math error. I'm not saying it to brag, I'm just saying math has always been strong.


In the interview I routinely bungled 5.25x3. I'm guessing I wasn't meant to have that job.

No it wasn’t, it was just bad luck! You’ll get it next time

I have an interview with Korn Ferry for an associate principal role and am curious about others’ experiences have been with work-life balance here. Also, I have an idea of what I should be compensated in this type of role, but any insights on how they pay compared to others would be helpful. Are you traveling during the pandemic or have client interactions been virtual? Lastly, if you are a consultant here, are you on billable hours? My current consulting role is not - so this would be new.

Currently going through some negations on an internal role. I’m currently at 88k and they offered me 100k for a position that requires a lot more work. Do you guys think it’s easier to land a higher salary when applying externally rather than internally? Also this is for a territory sales management role. They stated 120k+ is extremely high for that role. What do you guys think? Playing the game?

Hey all! I have an interview with
Deloitte in Regulatory Risk and more precisely in their Investment Management Services team. I would like to know if anyone
knows what the job entails exactly. I keep hearing about people "fooled" into taking a job in risk advisory thinking it'll really be advisory while they only end up doing IT and Audit support (which I do not want to do).
Is it the case here?
Thanks!

I quit my previous job approximately 5-6 months ago due to toxic culture and being pressured to commit fraud… I fear hiring managers see that I’ve been out of work for this time and may assume I was fired or laid off.
