Trying to exit Finance and have an interview at McKinsey - What should I wear to the interview? E-mail says "business casual" but not sure if I should go full suit and tie or just suit and no tie.

If it McK NY then suit up. Better to be overdressed

Was an interviewer at McK in my previous life. Wear a tie, seriously. Don‘t bother that none of the interviewers will. They will still silently acknowledge you dressing up. And now focus on the actual preparation which will determine the other 99% of your interview success. Mate..

Wear a suit and if it turns out to be business casual then just stick your tie in your bag.

Hi Google - I am requesting guidance!

I am prepping for my interview specifically GCA and open ended questions. I struggle to tell if the outcome should be talking through your process/steps (maybe for a question like - how would you go about determining program complexity) vs a specific solution such as create x new product, for x market by x date based on my assumptions. Is the desired outcome something I can clarify with the interviewer?

So a company I interviewed with took me to the final round but rejected me for an architect role. Then, two months later the hiring manager hits me up for a manager role he thought I would be a good fit before the job was posted. We had a call and he said he thought I would be a long shot replying back to him. Also, he said everyone liked me and no need to interview. He said he has to post it and let HR do their thing before he can make a final decision. Why post a job if you want me for it?

I had a very positive experience interviewing with Amazon for an L5 Technical Writer role. I originally applied for a lower level writing role, ending up acing my Loop, and was passed on to speak to the hiring manager for the L5 role.

Given the positive tone of our conversation, I expect to receive an offer this week.

Can somebody tell me what kind of base salary/bonus/RSU ranges I should aim for? I'm transitioning to tech and have 10+ years of professional writing experience. PNW based.

Got a verbal offer from Grant Thornton. The recruiter told me that they would get the paperwork over by Thursday or Friday. I mentioned that I am strongly considering the firm however I have other companies that I am also considering so I will be making my decision based on that.
