Understand the role and responsibilities and team size and use tailored examples to speak to those. Also at the VP level, a skill that’s critical to display is an ability to translate strategy into moving the needle

Partially correct on P&L. Get a feel for number of direct reports and each team size underneath. How will you allocate and what results will you expect out of each? It's all about how you can be effective while being 2 levels removed by setting up your system for visibility and management.

Hello, I was wondering about which companies usually hire for entry level ServiceNow role?

Background - I recently got the Certified System Administrator for SNow, PMP and CSM

Any insight appreciated, thanks!

I am asked during this RE analyst interview to build a real estate model from scratch. My background is commercial banking and I am used to analyzing real estate deals from the lender side not the developer. The interviewer is generous I must say he’s giving me a few days to complete. However this model is for a ground up multifamily development. I have no prior experience building one. I can find models online but all very complexe to reproduce. How would you handle? Do you have model to share?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
