Be yourself. Just like relationship, it needs to be a mutual fit. I know you may be nervous, but if you are not yourself, you may find yourself in a role that is not culturally a fit. To sound your best, stand up during your call and have flash cards of the highlights of your career and examples of times you've overcome difficult situations. Review the job requisition and discuss similar experiences you've have done for those responsibilities or why you would be able to do those responsibilities.

Have some questions ready. It is tough as interviewer too

Just interviewed someone today who didn't ask questions. Threw me for a loop.

I usually just word vomit all over the place and make a terrible first impression with both regulators and clients. Its worked well for me so far so maybe you should try it.

I've hear pulling up their picture on LinkedIn and talking to it can help. Good luck

I interviewed for Data Analyst role at EY, it went well and the job sounds great, but I'm a bit hesitant to leave PwC because I really like the firm and I'm just 8 months in my job as an associate at a subgroup of ITS that has some focus on technology and analytics but it's mostly tax compliance.

I do want to transition to data analytics but I'm not sure if it's a good idea to go to another big 4, or maybe just look for a position in industry.

Any advice or similar experience?

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)

I got an offer from firm 1 before the memorial holiday and have been stalling because I am waiting for an offer from firm 2..
I was working with a partner from firm 2 who got me an interview with the managing partner.. I got a verbal offer last week.. the staff told me they are processing the paperwork.
Should I still wait for firm 2? I feel like I can’t stall anymore.. I feel like I really should give firm 1 a response this week 😮‍💨 but I don’t want to lose both offers

Partners or whomever can help me understand about billing and hours.

So ideally you would have revenue of $510k. If the staff takes less time partners make less money and if they take more time partners make more money while the staff keeps the same salary?
