I have an initial recruiter phone interview with Square Thursday. Is it it just a phone call or is it a video call and they didn’t specify. If it’s a video call what’s the dress code like? I’m coming from consulting so all my interviews were in suits. Any tips to get past the recruiter phone screen?
Bain & Company I have a second round with Bain & Company coming up at the DC office for Experienced Consultant role. Excited, but hella nervous. Recruiter said it’d be 3 separate interviews, all with Partners; 2 case, 1 fit. About 40 mins each. First round was 2 case interviews with Sr. manager & Associate Partner. Been a rough year, so definitely looking forward to this opportunity. I’ve been on the site and going through preparation and materials. Any advice or suggestions welcomed!

Anytime the interview feels more like a pitch is a red flag to me. I should be pitching myself, not the other way around. If you're trying to convince me to take the job without finding out anything about me other than my resume (which I have no idea if you've even looked at) chances are it's no good. Also anytime they lead with "we're a family" or "we're more about filling needs then having specific labels or responsibilities."
I had an interview where the company owner didn't ask me too many questions and instead went into detail about his brilliant marketing thus far and explained that he didn't belive in work life balance...
Lol! He gave himself away
Instead of asking about “work/ life balance,” ask how often people are expected to work overtime for no additional compensation.
I have X commitment(s) at the evenings and weekend, just checking if you’re ever going to need me cancel? How often? The bigger and more important is better for expectation setting eg Kids, but the small might actually illicit more of the truth.
