Interested in same question. 9 written 11 multiple choice at manager level

I believe it’s a mixture of trivia (multiple choice), general knowledge (multiple choice, occasionally shows up in the written section as well), and open-ended creative response questions (written section only).

The three categories of questions are meant to address the Big 3 attributes proven to be drivers of consulting excellence — respectively: conversational ability, worldliness, and that indefinable spark called human ingenuity.

For your reference, past questions in the writing section include “what would you bring if you knew you would be marooned on a desert island?”, “which bird do you most resemble?”, and “how much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?”

Yes, they’re all questions we’ve heard before, but the key here is to give a truly original answer backed by some kind of quantitative analysis. This sort of “wrangling abstract questions into concrete solutions” is exactly the sort of thinking that separates decent consultants from great ones.

Wow. I find those types of questions pretty ridiculous. They are so abstract as a hiring manager I wouldn't know what to do with the answer. they are just wild card questions.

Especially on a written exam. Maybe in real time interview it can be used to judge how you react to unique challenging situations.

It is dependent on what level you are applying for

Curious for those in public accounting right now….are any of you open to leaving still with busy season coming closer? I know when I was in public, I was hesitant from 1/15 until 4/15 but wasn’t sure if this is still the norm? I want to be respectful and not reach out to people if it’s too late as to not tempt them if it would look poorly on their resume. Would love your advice!

Hello Guys,

SAP SD 4 YOE, INFY
CCTC -7.34
EY IN offered - 13.61(2lakh VP)

I have accepted EY IN Offer.
Now I am getting calls from EY GDS for interviews.

I am not sure if u should attend the interview or not at GDS.
When I shared this scenario with my EY IN HR, she said please don't attend it may create conflict and you may also get blacklisted.

EY GDS HR is like, you can attend the interview, there's no problem at all. We don't have such a policy. Please suggest what decision I should make.

Tough time getting past final step: I’ve been trying to make a career shift for 10 months now and continue to get rejected at the last step. Im confident in the value I can provide and do well at presenting it. However, once it’s comes down to me and 1-2 other candidates, I repeatedly have been turned down for the person who has more relevant experience as they’re a safer bet for the employer. Would love advice from anyone who’s dealt with this before. It’s tough to get them to take a risk on me
