Maybe, but unlikely. Somebody once told me less than 1 in 30 partners didn’t grow with the firm, so probably no. If you’re close to being made PPD at Deloitte, I’d just stick with the firm. You’re still well before the Unofficial partner cutoff age of 45.

Be patient and stay put. It is a longer road because there is a higher expectation and we want to make partners who are going to have long, healthy careers. In the span of a 30+ year career, waiting an extra year for promotion to make sure you have what it takes to succeed is nothing.

Hi fishes,

What are interview questions for DevOps Engineer Profile in Amdocs?

Had my 2nd interview with the hiring manager this past Friday & sent a thank you shortly after. It's now Tuesday (for those who see this on another day). At the end of the interview he said they've had other people who were interested but only one other person besides me were they considering. Said he would talk to his team and possibly have me fly out to meet in person. How long should I wait to follow up without seeming pushy? Also welcome any other tips to separate me from other candidate.

A quick note about what I’ve experienced, in my decade long career, is the real advantage of MBB or FAANG - it gives you a shot at stretch roles that are outside your expertise. Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
