I applied for the Associate, Consulting Clients role in January of 2025 that I learned of through LinkedIn. The application process was extremely long. Resume, CV, 4 1200 word questions, and several self response questions related to your interest in Third Bridge (how did you find out about it, what have you done to show your interest in the company). Admittedly, I should've stopped my application when it asked me to complete their Forage simulation and indicate in at least one of five ways how I have demonstrated my interest in the company. After completing the simulation (about 3 hours worth of time), I received an invite to select an interview time. One thing I would like to mention is how intentionally misleading Third Bridge's job descriptions are. It is intentionally cluttered, with fluff language, and designed to repeat and deflect. If you chose to withdraw your application, they ask why. The first available option to select as a reason to withdraw is "Unclear Description of Role." I did finally meet with the recruiter and they were very friendly. However, they explain how the role is actually 90% cold calling (in no way does the original job application indicate that it is that heavy in cold calling) and they said the best way to think about this job is as a phone sales job. Very friendly recruiter who did a great job but I instantly said no. Make sure to thoroughly parse and understand the role and what Third Bridge is offering (to the best of your ability). Don't waste your time like I did unless you are interested in this type of role.

The first interview was horrible. My interviewer did not introduce himself or let me introduce myself for that matter. (I’m not even sure he knows how to pronounce my name). He was late to joining the call and jumped right in with no introduction asking me behavior questions. It did not seem like they cared to learn about who I was or showcase what it’s like to work at Third Bridge. I was very disappointed.
