A job can be defined as a group of tasks and responsibilities that are assigned to one person. We have all had some type of job where we had to do a certain set of tasks in order to help the group or organization be successful.

Although it’s not exclusively from the realm of behavioral economics, the notion of A/B testing is something that I often try to work with companies to include.

“Tell me a time where you…”. Inevitably in any job, internship, or graduate school interview, you will hear these words. You are sitting in a chair facing a recruiter, manager, or professor asking you to share an experience where you displayed a particular emotion, dealt with a problem, or overcame a challenge. Consequently, these types of questions are referred to as “Experiential Questions”.

Every crisis puts consulting fee rates under short-term pressure and changes clients’ long-term views about what constitutes a reasonable price. Will this crisis be any different? So far, so much worse than the past. Whenever we would ask the question prior to the pandemic, we always found that only a small percentage of clients expected consultants’ rates to fall over the short-term future.
