So I have a contact at HR, she said she would be happy to answer any questions that I may have. Aside from asking about the timeline and how you can get involved with the recruiting process, what else would you ask her?

When do I get my offer
How much do you hate working in HR
do you guys actually give a shit about 99% of your policies/processes you enforce
When you guys get sued does HR get fired too?
do you actually read cover letters, and when you don't respond to people were you actually busy, or just buying time until a decision was made on a yes or no?
how does it feel like when you have to tell a kid his offer out of college is more than you're making after working for a decade?
How many days before you're replaced by a computer program?
hirevue is already doing that lol
There are many others, but automating HR is a slippery slope, from a legal perspective. The potential for accidental disparate impact can be quite high.
Please say never. Where are all the attractive dumb blondes supposed to go then? Office morale will sink to all time lows brih
Come on boys, Im desperate! Need to convert this into an interview.
"Does size really matter?"
Would you tolerate a Michael Scott? I would give anything for Michael Scott to be my boss.
That's what she said.
It would be interesting to know the actual comp bands at each level
While this would be nice, where I work (not wall street) someone with enough rank on the business side can force them to override this.
Nothing at all.
Ask her if you can provide anything else to help the process along or something. The HR interview is to just a screener, be able to speak well to your resume and roles. Usually, they don't know what "blah concept of finance" is or means.
Probably why they write in job ads that they seek intellectual curiosity, diverse background and value opposite opinions when they hire asskissers and actively censor any diverging opinion.
Then again, I know the answer already.
Care to share?
If you ask them, they'll reply that they need to find the best fit for the team and similar bullshit excuses, meaning that what they wrote in the job ad was a formality. The truth is, big corps absolutely hate independent thinking.
They go out of their way to boast different corporate cultures and values, when at the end of the day, they are all the same.
So what is the real answer? HR is flooded with people who did not have the talent to go in any other department especially women who use their job as a dating app.
Is a hotdog and sandwich or a hot dog
Does pineapple belong on pizza
how do you calculate WACC
Keep them on their toes
Why is every single HR person at major banks a really attractive young female?
To lure monkeys in...
