Chris, Great interview, it definitely helped a lot hearing Scott's experience and perspective on the promotion process as well as the beginnings of his career. It seemed like you had a lot better handle on the interview this time, too, as far as where you were taking the questions, how you presented them etc. Make sure Scott knows how much we appreciate his taking the time to do these interviews, they are great for an inside look into a senior guy's mindset!
Denver Monkeyannabe,
Thanks for the feedback. I'm glad you enjoyed the interview, and I'll make sure to share your comments with Scott.
Any suggestions for future topics?
Thanks again,
Chris
Future topic: What to do once all the work has paid off ie what a new member of an organization should do when they start to add value, make a good impression, etc.
Absolutely Chris, I'd really be interested in hearing what they look for in direct-promotes to Associate from Analyst, what qualities those people display (is it networking, hard work, intelligence, a combination of the three).
Also, I know everybody knocks Private Banking/PWM, but if you have a contact that would be interested in doing some of these segments I definitely have some questions regarding that field!
Also, going to shoot you a PM really quick.
