Hi All. I have an interview lined up for Business System Analyst( BSA) next week. Please pour in your suggestions on how to prep and what can I expect.
@Current BSA's- Can you please share sample questions from your interviews. Glassd**r does not have enough examples.
PS- I am a Consultant in Deloitte Workday practice and determined to make a place in FAANG.

I have an interview next week for a consultant role that I thought was along the level of my experience for a strategy role.

After more digging, the senior version of this role aligns with my exp more. Should I bring this up in the first interview (panel of 4 people)?

Been at ZS for couple of years and considering applying to other consulting firms (LEK in particular, MBB maybe) for better pay and progression, especially as I get closer to M level where ZS pay is lower. May enjoy doing different work too. Currently at the consultant level with a TC at about 180k. WLB is doable and I have great flexibility, picking up my kid to school everyday at 5PM and getting back to work later in the evening. Wondering if that would be a mistake considering WLB ?

Applied to LEK “Consultant” Role and ended up receiving an email invitation to the “Associate” first round interviews… I have a Master’s and 2 YoE.. what gives ?

Out of interest I have interviewed for a people consultant role in London on a ftc. How many people do they take through the final interview process? Just trying to weigh up my chances.

Big4 consultant. Most of my former colleagues have left for smaller consulting firms or exited to industry roles. Several have wound up referring each other and essentially re-clustered together in bunches of 3-4 at other firms. Not one of them has referred me or invited me to interview to work with them again. Cause for concern?

I consider myself easy to get along with, have decent relationships with all of them, but can't help but feel demoralized that nobody wanted to work with me again

Slalom folks - I have my final interview tomorrow. I work in NYC with 3.5 YOE in data analytics and data visualization. Current base is 127k. Would asking for 150k be too low or high if I were to come in as consultant? Also, what is the heart expectation for raises? Thanks!

Hey everyone I’m an upcoming graduate trying to find a strategy/management consultant role or analyst position. I graduate this December with a BS in Industrial and systems engineering. I’ve been cold applying and reaching out to recruiters on LinkedIn for the past 2-3 months with no luck. Any advice would be much appreciated!

Hey guys,

I have an interview at Microsoft next week for the role of SharePoint consultant. What should my preparation be like?

I have 4 yrs of exp in Informatica PowerCenter, IBM DataStage, PLSQL, Unix and Autosys. I have been shortlisted for interview in Deloitte India. They are saying they will train me in cloud for 3 months and then I have to work in Deloitte for 12 months. In total there will be a bond for 15 months. Regarding designation I am not sure but most probably they will give me Consultant only. How much salary can I ask ? I am having an offer of 12 from Cognizant
