Are big 4 final interviews always with a partner or can they sometimes be with just an MD?

For me it has always been starting with partner and ending with senior managers or md

“Just” an MD?

funny

Highest I got in my interviews was MD. But I'm in Tech Risk, so maybe it's a different than actual consulting service line interviews.

What service line and what role and team?

I passed my technical interview with a SM, then had back to back behavioral interviews with a Manager & Director a week later. Now I’m scheduled to have an interview with a MD. Just wanted to get an idea if it’ll be my last interview or not. It’s for SA in Operations Advisory.

Depends on level you are posting for. MDs are almost always in the chain of interviews but not the final say. Usually all hires go up a few partner levels for final approval.

My interviews were with two principals and an MD. Order was based on scheduling availability

What’s difference between Sr. Manager and MD

Highest for mine was with a Managing Director (tech consulting side)

Hi everyone!

This isn’t really an interview question but more of an on-boarding question.
Bit of background- I left my job of 3 years in Dec 2021 for a new company. Initially, I thought the company was great but my mind quickly changed. The on-boarding process was horrible, minimal training, thrown onto enterprise project 2 weeks in, over time, and there is no process for anything. I ended up hating my job.

Fast forward to Mid March, I started applying for jobs again but I omitted this role.

I have been approached by 3 separate HR people at a startup company to interview for a position. I already have a fulltime job that pays well and I only started 6 months ago too. Anyways, the pay was intriguing and the job was a high level scientific advisor so I did interviews. At the last interview, at the end I was told the job was for management but I prepared for a different kind of interview. I am waiting for an offer or rejection letter. I feel peeved that they wasted my time. Red flags?

How do you folks describe your deals in resume/ interviews/ LinkedIn while stopping short of naming client/target? If you describe the acquirer and target, it’s pretty easily traced to the exact deal.

I’m close to send them to get stuffed. I’m also awaiting a promo and interview feedback from Google. Any advice?
