5/1 update: 3 rounds of interviews - wtf is going to happen in the 3rd round?

[CPA]

bring your knee pads.


Seriously, one thing to do, if you haven't already discussed it in the second interview, is bring up salary and bennies.

Third one is the lightning round. Might want to consult Koing about American Gladiators before going back in :awe:

Awww...someone is upset they've been a peon for 10 years and have no upward mobility.

I see about 5 levels of superfluous management in that hierarchy. It's no wonder why we waste so much money in corporate america.

I agree. In the mean time supervisor and senior analyst at IBM has long merged into senior analyst to save investors money.

I have had 3 rounds interviews in the past, and IMHO pretty much mean that you have the job unless you have some objections/compensation negotiations that may need to be address.

He's an internal. Not the people and not the time.

I would like to revise my answer to the following:

they want to know how much you're willing to stretch your morals and professional ethics for the company

J/K! i'm sure it'll be a piece of cake!

 

[Midwayman]

I thought round 3 was when they had all the prospects in and had a cage match? Last one standing gets the position.

Well my interview with HR today lasted 10 minutes. Wanted to know what my motivations were and what my range was, as well as ask if i had any open questions.

i think it's a lot different cuz i'm internal.

 

[Ns1]

well that was brutal. 30 minutes of management questions. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO MAKE THIS JUMP!??!


oh well. I'm gonna assume I didn't get it and if I do, it'll be a nice surprise.

if I don't get this, I'm gonna start my own business and get some employees so that I can write on my resume "Management Experience".

Just because you are awesome at your job doesn't mean you'd be a good manager.

Why don't you think you got it?

I don't have the official management experience (which is not to say that I don't have any, just not enough of it). I feel like I got the answers to the questions right, but they just want someone with more mgmt experience.

it's possible that they'll offer me the job as a supervisor instead of the manager, but that's not what I want.

So on that chart you listed previously, you are trying to jump up two levels? And I don't intend for this to come off negatively, but if the previous is true your last statement sounds like the stereotypical Gen-Y sense of entitlement.

Why wouldn't you want to take it, gain the experience and be ready to move up again?

Assuming the step from his spot to supervisor is not a advancement in money. Most under that postion make commission/salary, while a lot of supervisors are people that can't cut it at that level under to make more money or they want the security of there postion.

That doesn't make sense and isn't the least bit true in the general workforce.

 

[Vdubchaos]

Your company sounds like a typical Corp America, whole lot of worthless politics and BS.

I'm jumping departments too. My current department has no supervisor level, only seniors and managers. And I'm way above (in skill) the seniors in the department I'm transferring to.


It's not even the same "sr analyst" title.

And you would be supervising them, gaining management experience and experience in another function. I still don't see the rub.

 

[Zeze]

Be prepared for lots of socially inept code monkeys/IT managers to hate on you in this thread.

I would make more money, have more opportunities, and be happier in my current role vs committing a supervisor position for 2-3 years.

manager or bust.

How do you plan on gaining the management experience that you feel that they require?
