Yes from Deloitte out of undergrad.

Yes, I bet the call is just to give you an offer

It’s not unheard of! I have received phone interview invites with senior members of the team for 30 minutes, from many firms. Different firms do it differently.

Also, in my experience director level interviews are for "fit" and your presence. They want to test if you're ready to be client-facing. 2nd year consultant out of undergrad.

If you did well the Call is to give you the offer. It'll be 10-15 mins. If it's actually 30 you did something wrong. I'm surprised they didn't fly you out.

Ok cool! Thanks @C1

Yes PwC gave me an offer after phone only.

I got an offer by phone too

I already had 3 interviews (HR Phone Screen, Behaviorial, Skills) and this one is with the Managing Director to go over “career profession, the practice, my experience” @Accenture2

HR said it’s because I’m in a state where there’s no presence and if offered a job, I’ll be moving anyway which is ok cause I’ve been wanting to move

🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾🤞🏾 hope so!!! Thanks!

So I have been made an offer by a company I like but it’s pretty similar to my current package (I also like where I am). The recruiter is pretty intense and is pitting me against another candidate but says I’m the number one choice and is asking me for a number to say yes “but not too high or the team will look at the other candidate”
I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
