When an in-house recruiter at another company cold-emails you, is it fair to ask them for the rough offer range in your initial response back (to avoid wasting everyone’s time)? Or do you owe them the courtesy of taking at least a screening phone call and asking then?

How long does it generally take to hear back on a job application? I’ve applied at ~6 jobs (that I meet the qualifications for) over the last 2-3 weeks and have only heard back from one. Is this common?

Hi everyone. I already had my phone screen call with a recruiter about a Technical Sales Effectiveness position at AWS and now I am heading my first interview. Any advice? Looks like the first one is going to be more Technical but my background is related to Microsoft Azure.

Question for any external recruiters.

You placed me in my current role (and presumably were paid because of it). Can I reach out for a new role ?

I’ve been prepping hard for M&A technicals (reading R&P, biws400) for a move to an MM IB firm but got hit up to interview for a T2 consulting firm (LEK, EYP, OY).

My goal is to break into PE potentially but I’m not sure if it’s worth putting in effort for T2 consulting interviews because I believe exits from T2 are more limited compared to an MM IB like JEF. My question really boils down to how do exits from a T2 compare to that of a top MMIB? Appreciate any and all insights!

Interview for an investor relations analyst role at a hedge fund/private credit manager coming up. Any tips or ideas on what questions might be asked? Any advice?

Had my second interview for a non legal role at a company in which a legal role just opened. Is there a way to indicate interest for both positions without damaging my chances at both?

What is the best way to respond when an interviewer insists that you provide a base number for compensation during the interview process? I mentioned that I was interested in learning more about the full compensation package (benefits, etc.), but the recruiter insisted twice. I do not want to price myself out of a position or lose money either. All tips are greatly appreciated.

Is it unprofessional to follow your recruiter on LinkedIn ??

Got promoted after submitting my application for R2.

Emailed the schools and some have replied saying I should update my resume and send to them.

I'm a little at a loss of what to add to my resume. As most of you know in consulting we don't get a bunch of new responsibilities the second we get promoted to the next level (at least before getting promoted to M).

I'm thinking I will add a section for Senior Consultant and add what my responsibilities reasonably would be in 3-6 months (cont)

Has anyone interviewed for a tech apprenticeship for product management? If so how did it go?

How do people get interview call from Accenture Strategy & Consulting? I am an MBA from tier 2, 5 YoE post MBA in Financial Risk. Currently working with a Big 4.

I’ve been auditing a company for SOC2 for three cycles now. I recently saw a job opening that I’m interested in at the client. Would it be inappropriate if I asked the client contact for a referral?

How long does it take to hear back from applying to MBB through referrals?

QQ for US 🐟: how often do recruiters reach out to you on LinkedIn with opps that are actually appealing? Even better if you can quantify with YoE and messages per week/month (and contextualize with city & current role).

I’m currently working outside of the US and have my account location set to the country, and I’m wondering if I might get some good leads back in the US just by updating my location.

Hi all! Had a phone call with a recruiter, then an interview with a Technical Program Manager for a Program Manager position.

How does contract to hire work? If I’m offered $37/hr on w2 for 3 months and then possibly a permanent position, how much can I expect to get annually as a full time company employee as a BI data analyst II? I have a M.S. and certificates in DA but this will be my first job as DA.
I prefer working for what is offered on contract without negotiating, and then negotiate when I transition into the company itself so I have a better chance of getting the contract position and show my skills.

Thoughts on racial reparations? My opinion: terrible idea, would be almost impossible to implement in a way that wouldn’t be divisive and likely would be quite ineffective. Also sets an iffy precedent. The time to pay would’ve been 1870, when slaveowners still lived and could be held directly accountable.

What’s your favorite industry and why? I’m realizing how important it is to be working primarily focused on an industry you’re interested in (esp when working long hours!)

Mid-market and Enterprise AE’s. How much prospecting do you do in a given week? Seems like 75% prospecting and 25% working on current deals. Wondering what the current consensus is.

How does one do basic diligence on a Chinese contract manufacturer? How do I verify what they are representing is true? It’s a big company but apparently has several subs of unknown stability or complexity that actually contract for services?

Anybody here ever interview at Google? What's the timeline been like?
I started my process in mid-April and made it through onsites plus a meeting with the HM in May. That was about 4 weeks ago and my recruiter has not responded to my emails asking for an update.
Is this a "no news is good news" situation or should I assume a rejection?

I started of doing compliance (non-attorney role) and then went in-house (acting GC for medium size company got a year). Any advice for someone who never had firm experience? If you went back to a firm what do you think you would have to prepare for? (Besides billiable hours and no life. ) Also, fwiw, I graduate in 2018.

Has anyone waived in to MN before as in house counsel? One of the requirements is actively practicing law for 36 of the last 60 months. I was in compliance for a number of years and am wondering if that will be a snag. I did perform legal functions but it mentions demonstrate evidence of and so I was just curious about any experience others may have had.
