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?

Pros: you’re a manager
Cons: moving deeper into consulting, an industry known for having zero cool people in it.
Tech people being called cool. What a time to be alive!
Cons: so much red tape. Say farewell to your investment portfolio essentially
Location also matters. Some purchases are barred only for practitioners in certain offices.
Pros: more money
Cons: more responsibility
I may have more responsibility as a Manager, but definitely not more work. If anything, my life is easier now that more of my time is managing others and I can delegate some of the “daily grind” tasks. Best level so far.
Pro: you can leave consulting and earn a comparable amount if you actually know what you’re doing
Not at more senior levels if you live in the midwest. I got contacted for a SenDir position in Cyber that was semi-local, and their salary range was a full 60k lower than what I'm making as a manager.
Most jobs are underpaid like that here. I'm happy making Chicago pay where the cost of living is only at 60-70% of a big city.
Is EY big4 if you’re in consulting?
Big 4 = EY, Deloitte, PWC, and KPMG. Regardless of audit or consulting.
At accenture your bonuses basically double and you get around 20% salary bump. And like someone else said, I delegate almost all the grunt work. It’s been pretty sweet tbh
