What do you guys use to help with interview prep? USDC college hire interviewing was pretty simple. How do I prep to start looking?

Truthfully just doing a lot of them helps. You may fumble the first few interviews but that’s okay, each time you’ll refine your story and hone in on key experiences/skills.
But pre-interview prep includes molding your story and skills based on your company research (why do you want to work for them? What do they specialize in? How do you fit in? What is their culture like?)
Hope this helps, and good luck.

Your experience

Learn about the company as much as you can and be ready to speak about what interests you about the company and what motivates you. By the time you get to interviews they are just trying to pick between a handful of people and a lot of it comes down to if they feel you would be a good fit for the team and the role. They have to go to bat for you with their TGL when they want to hire you, so get them on your side and wanting to fight for you to give you the job.

I recently interviewed for a small strat consulting company (energy industry). I have 3 YoE and would be moving from engineering. the HR person asked me what my salary expectations were I was caught offguard and said I would expect it to be at least what I make now (around 100k). Im now worried theyll lowball me because I really shouldve asked for 120+bonus (I think this is market rate?) But they have salary bands they follow right?So if they pay consultants 140 usually would they offer me 100k?

I was told to apply to a hospital job by someone interested in interviewing me. The recruiter reached out. Asked for my availability but then didn’t respond when I gave her my availability. I followed up. We scheduled a phone call (she said she’d call) and then she didn’t call! At this point, I’m thinking they’re totally disorganized. Is this common practice? I’ve never dealt with a recruiter so I don’t know.

I’d say I have a great work/life balance but I do know that I could be making 20-30% more and have better benefits if I left. I also feel a bit stagnant in my job but the job security has kept me put. Would love to hear if leaving a comfortable job for more money is always worth it.
