ZS Associates: Have a 30 minute case interview soon for a Business Operations Associate role...any guidance?

I got emailed by a recruiter last week and suddenly found myself scheduled for an interview with Deloitte Federal for their Analytics/Data Science Manager position. There are three 30 minute interviews scheduled with a principal, then a technical and behavioral interview. Can someone tell me about the technical interview at Deloitte Federal? Is this mostly about going over some of my analytics work in the past from a technical view, or some type of a case study?

Two interviews done: the case review went really well the focus interview one kinda meh and got another with a partner coming up. Interviewing for Sr C position with Deloitte. Let’s see!

Y’all still wearing suits for video interviews? Not a tech company. Wondering if I should just wear a dress shirt.

If you’re interviewing for a position and the hiring manager is the same age as you (late 30s), how would you feel about it?

Surprised that people still ask questions like ‘strengths and weakness’ and ‘a time when you had to handle a difficult situation’ while interviewing candidates with 10+ years of relevant experience. It wasn’t even an HR interview. That just signals me to not join your team.

How has all-virtual interview processes changed case interviewing?

I started a new job mid last month, but KPMG just got back to me nearly two months after an initial phone interview.

My current job is as a Senior Business Analyst at a boutique firm specializing in FinTech. A little boring if I’m being honest, but salary is 100k.

According to Glassdoor, the salary for this position at KPMG would be ~115k. Senior Associate for Cloud.

How terrible would I be if I ended up leaving my current job after two months? Can anyone actually stomach this?

I’m currently interviewing between two companies. should I tell either company I’m progressing through interviews? Or should I wait if/when I get offer letters?

Anybody filed for unemployment with reason- terminated for performance. What was the procedure like? Do they interview you? I could have easily provided reason as laid off, but, didn’t want to give false info as the reason in my termination was performance, according to my termination letter.

What’s the purpose of the final interview with members on the team?

I just had an interview for a consultant role (I’m currently an associate) which was the very last interview of 6 total. The interactions were positive with all other 5 interviewers. This one asked towards the end of the interview “what would you say if the team really likes you and extends an offer for the associate level?” I didn’t say anything to that and I just thanked him for the transparency and for putting that out there. His argument is the role would require data analytics which I don’t

Have been doing mostly tech consulting and process optimization work. I am trying to pivot into strategy consulting and need to bolster my candidacy somehow to be considered for interviews.

Appreciate any and all advice/feedback.

Failing to crack interview over and over 😔😔😔 wish me luck

Currently making $250-300k in an IC tech job. I have thought about trying again for MBB (stopped the interview after I got this job) to grow faster for more supervisory or strategically oriented tech jobs but the pay cut, much worse wlb, and worse tech are hard to swallow. Does it even make sense to go to MBB with that goal? Especially when I could just focus harder on growing where I am?

Bummed out that I got an interview at a big 4 through HireVue virtual interviews an i sat ther with a message “you are waiting for the interviewer” for 10 minutes then she calls me and asks if I was in the call because she was waiting for me. She seemed a little ina rush the whole call. At least I thought maybe she was busy and was late so she used it as an excuse. But I didn’t get a follow up interview now and wondering if it was a tech issue or something with how the interview was set up
