Anyone has experience with technical interviews in accounting? What should I expect? Have a Skype interview scheduled with Australia and they informed me it's going to be a technical interview...

Most likely they will be asking you about background and to explain times when you worked on technical issues. I doubt they expect you to recite guidance off the top of your head. The most important part of technical accounting is being able to read guidance, understand it and apply it to the circumstances at hand.

No such thing as a technical interview.... You'll be fine buddy. Don't sweat it. Just put some shrimps on the Barbie and go down unda. I recommend Melbourne over Sydney

I had a technical interview when I was young, 22, with Costco internal audit, a bunch of assholes, the 3 men took me to a tiny room and interrogated me with a bunch of textbook questions, intimidated the hell out of me. After that I swear I will never work for assholes, or stay through another situation like that, if interviewers act out of whack I will just get up and leave. What kind of boss you have is very important!!!!

Technical interviews are a thing. They may ask you questions about cyber security networking possibly change management questions or logical access

I don't know who needs to hear this, but I have a few former classmates and colleagues sweating over lateral interviews. Take a deep breath and relax.

First, doing these interviews does not define you as a person.

Second, take it one day at a time; if they are moving forward, they see something in you.

Third, remember that the people interviewing you are human beings. Connect with them, be personable.

Ugh, just got rejected from a senior level big tech opportunity. 4 month hiring process, multiple rescheduled interview days and no-shows, 10+ interviews in the end, multiple take home assessments, and took 2 days off work for the final round of interviews. Very frustrating and feel like they wasted my time in the end. Just a shambolic interview process in which I felt like a placeholder till they found who they really wanted.

Kind souls who successfully exited to Google,

Would you be kind enough to refer me to a role at Google!
Came across a role that's a good fit. Would ideally like to target it through a referral and not by applying through the career site.

Would also love to maybe take you for a meal or alike to thank you for it :) Google

When it comes to your job search:

1) How often/much do you get feedback from recruiters or whoever you just spoke with? Feels like we're always in the dark. One way feedback street.

2) Who do you like to work with? Headhunters vs internalrecruiters? Is the experience different?

3) Have you had to align your interviews so that the offers would come in close/same day? What's your strategy?

4) What's your process in weighing [multiple] offers? If that ever happens? Where do you keep your notes?
