Elena failed interviews at McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte, and others, but persevered to land the role she wanted at Amazon in program management. In this discussion, she walks us through the interview gauntlet she went through, the process she used to prepare, and actionable tips for success in any interview.

With 20+ years of experience in software development, consulting (IBM), and more, Elena brings a lot to the table. If you're looking to break into a corporate strategy or consulting role, this is one episode you don't want to skip.
