You may have that opinion about your qualifications but that might not be what’s perceived by recruiters. Get feedback on your resume from folks who have seen recruiting success. Just like C1 said above, network. Get your name and face in front of folks who are where you want to be and attend campus recruiting/career events whenever possible.

With Deloitte I'd say focus at least as much on your mindset and values. Obviously we want skilled people, but that can be taught, and it's not like we can reasonably expect a person out of college to know everything.

Look at what the company states for values, governance, ethics etc. Explain why that is important to you snd why you want to be part of that culture.

I'm assuming this is probably a good strategy with the other 3. Just be careful not to only talk about your intellect and academics.

WHY do you want to be here? What makes the place special to you? What can you bring to the company and the community?

Network and improve your resume. I was super below average and no connections whatsoever but my resume was so good + speaking skills. I got interviews for top tier banks and even an MBB. Just look over your resume and also network with people inside the section of the business you want to get a recommendation

Agreed. I would network and see if you can get a referral. They get a TON of applications so its always good if you have someone who can get your resume directly to HR.

What is your work exp

KPMG 1, I held a year-long internship at a Wealth Management firm, I did a Tax Consulting case study with Deloitte, and I’ve held a full-time role at a Fintech/financial compliance firm

Go audit for 2-3 years than transfer to deal. I don’t think they take a lot of deal A1s in general

Yeah honestly audit is the best way in, easy enough to transfer after a year or two. Most deals practices dont hire undergrad analysts for whatever reason

Could give KPMG referral, but it would be for new grad most likely.

First off, good for you for being a great student and acquiring a good internship early. But I would agree with KPMG 2 that not everyone will see this, so you should make yourself stand out. Yes, you may be well rounded but a well rounded employee also knows what his weaknesses/limits are - assess yourself

KPMG Transformation Delivery interview coming up! Need advice ! Hi. Currently a Sr. Tech Risk Consultant at EY. I have mostly done IT Audit, SOC, and 2-3 channel 2 consulting work assignments. and I am about to have my first interview with KPMG from their Transformation Delivery practice. The team is project, program and portfolio management. How’s the work? Is it better than IT audit? If its PMO related then is it IT/Technical prog mgmt? Any Data analytics involved?I have technical skills too

This is the most basic question, so yep, I’m asking you to take it easy on me when you reply. I have been practicing for about 5 years total. I have been in civil practice for 2 years. These 2 years have been the most demoralizing, unfulfilling 2 years of my life. I have been giving myself pep talks to find the “positive” spin on it but firm life isn’t for me. I know networking is key but do you have some thoughts/suggestions on how to make an exit...crying at therapy is becoming too much.
