We all came into this industry having no idea what we would end up doing. Remember yourself during interviews. The old you. Not the current you that can pack a travel bag in 5 minutes.

I had a maxwriter Rs.10 ballpoint pen in my pocket.

4 years ago - When I was in industry and EY called, I had no idea what a management consultant did. But I knew how much people respected them around the office, and I remember learning all I could before the interviews. It kicks my ass every day now, but I love it. Makes me stronger, makes me smarter.

I started interviewing early Oct with a company that reached out via recruiter. The hiring manager was very straight forward with me that I was his top candidate and I was told all other interviews were very positive incl CMO. The recruiter said they'd be making an offer but it's now been three weeks. Anyone else had the process drag on like this? Meanwhile I'm taking other interviews and was offered a promotion at current company, but was very interested in this one. What would you do?
