What did you have to go through to get your current role and how did you prepare for it ? Almost every interview now has an excel case, multiple rounds, different types of testing ?

1.5 years ago - went thru 3 months worth of interviewing, excel model test, case study, pitch, multiple interviews where I was grilled on past deals and how I evaluated them. Brain teasers, questions about my role models, etc etc. These people know me better than most of my exes at this point

Was poached from Merrill by a recruiter 2 years ago. Phone interview with my boss (ED) and later their boss (ran the department for all of JPM.) Had in office interviews with the management team that I was joining to make sure we all got along. No tests, no really brain teaser questions.

I had multiple rounds but no excel test. They asked fundamental questions and questions that would demonstrate my thought process. That was approx 5 years ago.

Phone interviews, series of in-person interviews and preparation of a pitch deck for a company of my choice with supplemental financial model exhibits that I had to present to about 10 people with a Q&A at the end.

10 hours of interviews + 1h numerical/logical tests + 1h coding test

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?

B) Switching my job here and hold on

What would you do?
