Tell me about how much flexibility I’ll have in creating my career path? (For example, is there a set path, is it entrepreneurial, many options, few paths?)

We understand that our professionals may want to seek out new opportunities - whether it is expanding their technical and/or functional knowledge or moving to another part of the firm. We encourage our professionals to examine their careers and define how they want to grow it now and in the future. We offer an array of possibilities, some of which include a global tour of duty or a transfer to another part of the business.

These initiatives are to support and advance our culture, while meeting changing business needs. We encourage our teams to connect and discuss what's important to them to help find a work-life balance for the team and firm responsibilities.

What kind of advice can you offer a new MBA admit who wants to work at your company? Tips for the process of landing an offer.

Do your homework

• The interview starts before you walk in the door. Know our firm. Prepare questions to ask. Rehearse your responses to common questions so you are articulate and compelling.

Tell your story

• Use the power of personal stories to convey the essence of who you are and what’s important to you. It’s easier to be enthusiastic when you’re telling a story versus restating facts.

Be confident

• Make sure you are authentic and memorable. Leave a lasting impact.
