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!!!!

I got rejected for an interview from Big 4 NY Audit, even had referrals from Manager + level people. 3 years w/ audit senior at mid size firm, 2 years fed tax at big 4, and 1.5 years Internal Audit healthcare. Currently self employed for a year to work on investing. Do I literally need a partner level referral to get back into Audit? I thought there was an accountant shortage.

JPMorgan Chase Did a first round interview for a senior level position at JP Morgan.. hiring manager said I should receive a call back within a couple of weeks.. been over a month.. no intimation post that.. the HR in charge of hiring or scheduling haven’t replied to my emails on what comes next and haven’t scheduled anything. So should I consider this as a dead end ? Does this generally happen at JP? Feels weird that I have been ghosted after what I felt was a very good interview.. Was a good fit too.JPMorgan Chase

Any one make a move from fund admin after big 4 assurance and then was able to make a pivot to a PE fund accounting team? I am considering moving to a fund admin now. Have 9+ years of big four experience. Worried that I can get stuck in fund admin. But I have interviewed at several big name pe shops and make a few rounds on interviews but then get the same feedback that they are worried about my lack of operational experience.
