Let me show the impact management decision delays had on one team: The managers started their portfolio decision meeting. They adjourned the meeting to get forecasts from the teams.

Fit Interviews are all about showing your compatibility with a firm’s working environment and culture.

Sometimes it’s been across oceans and time zones (we are a military family), and sometimes it’s been across town (the office was short on space; I was a slave to my children’s schedules; the whole operation was virtual).
