Honestly, just be yourself. Obviously you have to prep, but being normal is one of the biggest things. Don’t try to fit any mold

^ maybe, maybe not. Mine is non-prof turnaround. Stay frosty. Best advice: don’t forget that fit evaluation happens during the case, not just the behavioral questions. Do I want to solve problems with you?

I feel like I was straight up lied to during the interview process. “lots of opportunities to hit quota”. I’m sitting here with only one demo two months after joining the company. it looks like our team has only two people doing demos, and demos are only happening once every two weeks. At this rate, I don’t think I’ll be even close to hitting OTE. Are there any other companies hiring right now? I’ll have a discussion about my concerns with my manager soon, but there’s too many red flags here.
