Mckinsey. A leader in McK solutions People / HR practice asked me, “How old are you? You don’t want to be partner, do you?” Illegal and insulting question. No words.

Deloitte had me sitting bored in a cubicle for 2.5 hours between interviews, so I finally left to get Starbucks, but the admin wouldn’t let me back in the door without a badge when I came back, and the HR contact wasn’t answering her phone. I was left standing behind a glass door for 30 min, waiting to be let in.

KPMG. Interviewer was 7 mins late, didn’t apologize, and chewed gum throughout the interview. Their job application template could also use an upgrade.

No offense to folks at KPMG... still a great firm.

Hi IBM sharks 🦈

So I got interviewed for a project by the IBM team. The interviewer told me that its a go ahead from their end, now the client will assess my profile and if they too are fine with it, I will be onboarded?

Is it true that we have client interview as well? If yes then after how many days of interview by IBM team, client interview takes place?

Or its just that if the IBM team is fine with it, we are selected for the project?

Any inputs on this will really help :)

What's the typical role of a PrEditor either in-house or freelance? A lot of the descriptions sound like it's just a do it all content creator who writes, shoots, and edits.

So I had an interview with a company (3 rounds actually) which went pretty well. I even rearranged my schedule for last minute interviews because it’s the job that I really want. My recruiter said that they all love me & even wanted me to speak to the CEO. Then they needed a few days to speak with another candidate. After a few days, I was told that they needed another day because the other candidate couldn’t interview with the department lead. I’m really worried now. How should I take this?

Is it a good idea to tell your manager intentions of leaving?

Recently had my review and it didn’t go how I expected. No raise, no promotion. I expressed disappointment but took the criticism I was given to reach my goal in 6 months or a year.

However, there are a number of issues that bother me enough where I want to move on.

The team I am on is small and I know that when I leave, they’ll have a lot on their hands. I only have a couple of interviews scheduled and nothing is solid yet.
