Mine was excel based. They gave me a laptop with a bunch of financial statement and other data and said ‘in 30 minutes we’d like you to give a report on the health of this company that our fictional client wants to acquire, and give recommendations on what you’d want to look deeper into.’

That was it. Guy came back in half an hour and it was a really interesting interview.

So had my first interview in one of the big 4 but it got me completely off guard. First one was call screening and then a technical interview. Now what I didn’t expect is rather than technicalities they focused on the consulting a lot more. Now the role that was marketed was technical/Architect and they even said that in current capacity you’ll work here as a technical person. I don’t think it went well. Coming from a technical background I was hoping for coding .
Is it always like this?
