Would someone mind explaining to me how much information we can share during behavioral interview questions for a public trust client? I don’t feel comfortable asking anyone I know and would really appreciate it

McKinsey & Company fish - is the interview process for an EM different from the typical MBA recruiting path? The info I received made it seem like case questions would focus more so on running a program / leadership type questions rather than the traditional cases. This doesn’t seem right?

I just did an interview for a role and company I know I don’t want. The next round is fairly involved and involves an all day office visit which would involve me taking off work. How do I proceed ?

Is answering the interview questions with a pitch of ‘thanks for the question/that’s a great question’ etc a good practice? This may give me a few seconds to process my answer better but I am confused if the other person may get this as unnatural.

Is it normal to have an application sitting in Review status for 30+ days?

Recruiter called me a week after first round just to say no news and to gauge interest level. Apparently, all first rounds to be done before decisions made on progress ..

As I potentially have other interviews on the table, worth chasing the recruiter for another update?

Hi All,

Need help. I have recently joined a company and working for a banking client. We have product owner from client side and I am the offshore BA.

Feeling so down right now…I spent months trying to get into a tech company. And when I finally got in, I was then laid off two months into the job. This past month, I applied to 300+ jobs and had 30+ interviews. None of them led to offers due to hiring freezes or internal hires. I just went through 10 interviews with a non-tech company and I don’t know if I will get an offer. I am just so tired of everything. If anyone knows of any PM roles (hardware/software), please let me know. YOE: 2

I have a second round interview tomorrow for a mid level copywriting position. I’m meeting with the Group CD to discuss me portfolio and the position. Any advice? I do not have much interviewing experience so anything helps!!

Would like your advices. Awhile back I applied and was video interview for a position at a competitor. I suspect I wouldn’t get it based on the vibes they gave off. Now randomly I get an email from one of their recruiter asking if I was interested to apply for a similar position. Should I even bother? It might be with the same people.

I have been applying and interviewing for almost two years and not able to lend a job offer. I am at a point of wanting to give up. I’m always getting to the final round of interviews and interviewers experience how amazing I am.. but still no offer.
Anyone have any advice? I literally just don’t know what to do anymore

Hi All,

I am 12 yoe, working at a very stable product based organisation (not NEC).
But I want to switch to a better role & compensation.

I got an offer from Thoughtworks GGN as a lead consultant. Being a mother, I have anxiety about joining TW, since it is service based.

1. Bcoz of the recession and hiring is not for specific project, is it the right time to join TW or is it risky w.r.t job security?
2. How flexible is TW for WFH or it depends on the client?
3. How is WLB?

Please help..

Hi fishes, URGENT!!!
I've put down papers in TCS. My project management is ready to give me early release. How probable is the HR to accept my LWD prepone request?

Hi Fishes,

Could someone help answer this.
I have a offer from CTS and I'm considering joining here but I've heard a lot of bad remarks regarding bench policy.

Now I'm worried whether i will get a project once I join here or will I get kicked out in 30 days if not.

Tech stack: Mulesoft

This is the first time I'm switching companies so I'm really worried about how life will be if I take the risk and join here.

Assuming the client doesn’t have a particular rule on the issue, do you bill for time spent traveling to/from court appearances?

Does anyone else get a million emails from sketchy recruiters with “small business veteran owned” businesses looking to staff you on their contracts? How do I stop these?
