What sort of questions should a GAD/Director be able to answer re:digital in interviews when you haven’t “grown up” in the digital tactical weeds?

What’s GAD?

For digital you should know what programmatic is, about DSPs, supply sources, dynamic creative, and attribution. You should know how digital OOH, CTV and digital audio happen. Know about dynamic ad insertion, data partners, how ads are decisioned based on algorithms. Know about hyperlocal data, audience data, contextual data, first party data.

Know how search works.

More advanced is info around CDPs, and some nuances for things like DSPs and how the programmatic ecosystem works.

For context we are programmatic buyers.

Tagging, problem solving, performance (how you solved issue x), revenue questions, etc

Not sure the GAD needs to understand tagging but definitely revenue, efficiencies, etc.,

like

Strategy, internal financing procedures, new business, client relationship, digital trends. If you are mid-level or above you should NOT be doing tagging or ad trafficking.

My final round with Deloitte for UK Tech Consulting Manager position soon. Strangely it’s not a PMD round as it usually is for other Big4/tech consulting firms.
1. Can anyone tell me if they’ve been through the whole process without speaking to PMD? (First round Sr Manager, second Case Interview by a manager and third again by a manager) 2. What is a typical salary to expect? I was asked in screening but kept it vague (e.g can discuss later bla bla). I was hoping 75-80 (ridiculous?)

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

Am I a back up for the firm?
I passed the first round of interview at a t2 firm in the Middle East but they put changing the time for final round interview. It has been more than two months and my final round slot still cannot be confirmed. They say that it is because of Christmas time and things. Is this normal? 
Am I just a backup for them? (like they would only let me interview if they need people desperately.)
Is it even good to join if I get the offer given the situation?

Had an Excel assessment yesterday as the second to last step in an interview process. I was using a new computer and long story short, had some technical difficulties (or maybe just my own incompetence under stress) and ended up only getting through half of the test. I’m on the fence about emailing my recruiter and explaining the circumstances/asking for a retest. Don’t want to come off like I’m complaining but also don’t want this to be the reason I don’t move forward. Any advice appreciated…

Hi sharks,
I had appeared for an interview in juniper networks a couple of weeks ago, two rounds were successful and HR called back. She asked for the expected CTC and i conveyed my expectations. She said she will get back to me after the approval for numbers from senior management. It will take 2-3 days.

That was the last week. I don't have her mail ID, because all incoming mail from juniper are auto mails. But their career portal shows status as "selected for offer" suggestions please.
