I applied for a manager position at Freddie Mac. The job posting listed a salary range of $140K – $207K, and I was looking for $180K – $200K. During the initial call, I found out the actual budget was $135K – $140K. I spent several hours researching, tailoring my resume, applying, and prepping for the interview, so it was a letdown to learn the compensation was much lower than advertised. It's really important for job postings to be accurate about salary so people can decide if they want to apply and use their time wisely, especially when they need a job. Being upfront about pay makes the hiring process better for everyone.

The interview was pretty chill, not too hard. I wasn't ready for it, so I messed up. But overall, the process isn't that tough compared to other risk modeling jobs.

Behavioral Presentation

It was an extensive process with many stages. It started with HR, then moved to a panel interview, and then two manager interviews, finishing with the VP. All the interviews were at separate times, so I had to go to their location multiple times.
