Once upon a time...

I joined in Accenture as level 8. Prior to joining, I was apporached by a project, and they seemed to not convince with my lack of knowledge about the role hence they dropped me even after contacting couple of times. Now I have got call from another one and they also seem to be not fully sure because my last role was very different. My question is how difficult is it to get a project in Accenture? Will this interviews continue? Also, what are the chances of me getting a suitable role?

You have a few options, and I don’t think they’re mutually exclusive:
1) Talk to him about it (or have the client say something). I don’t know how far this will get you, but sometimes it almost embarrasses them out of this behavior if they realize how badly it’s landing with the client.
2) Keep being a hyper competent badass. He may eventually learn to trust you like the other partners do.
3) Say something to the other partners you work for, especially any partners who manage these clients.
4) Just enjoy the shared “can you believe this guy?!” glance with your clients. It’s another thing that will build a rapport with them, whether you choose to comment or not (err on the side of not commenting).
