[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cap One, if you can get through hiring process. DH pulls in about $150k/year. Leaves house at 8, home by 5:30. Works at home pretty much whenever he wants.[/quote]

It's the hiring process that kills most. Maybe one in ten make it through.[/quote]

What is so unique about their hiring process and/or qualifications they seek? I have never applied there, but would not have thought they are different than anywhere else comparable.[/quote]

There's a lot of math involved. Most people can't solve the cases. It's comparable to an interview at McKinsey or Bain or BCG in terms of style and content. You have to intuit the solution, set up the proper equations and be able to solve them correctly. It's not just a behavioral interview (although there's that too). A hypothetical interview might start with a store selling shoes. They'll provide some data like the quantity of shoes you sell, the price, and the cost. They'll give you some graphs or tables highlighting the overall market, some of it relevant, some of it probably not. Then they'll throw out something like "You are considering a price decrease of 10%. The price elasticity of demand is ...." And ask you what you think. I'd venture fully half of the people we interview can't get past step 1, even with a definition to elasticity of demand given to them. If you then ask them to figure out what % of customers would have to buy 3 shoes in order for you to be OK with a 20% decrease in price, it's often far too difficult a structure for most to figure out.

Is that for every position they are seeking?[/quote]
