How would you document around something?

How good is your grammar?

^Ah.. The politician approach. You guys/girls are good.

Why you want to change? Where do you see yourself in 2-3 years? Why do you think we are the right fit for you? So on and so forth. Pretty generic, the interviewers also google questions pretty often! ;) for the time you failed - take any challenging situation, say, you did not know how to deal with but immediately brought it to attention of senior personnel on the team - win win!

Thanks @Deloitte 1 , i was just wondering interviews would be any different/ difficult for experienced hires or if any technical questions would be involved

Depends on who referred you and your resume. I was an experienced hire as well and the questions were career related and not technical. They know you can learn and do the audit from your resume and referrals. What they care about is the other side!

Thats true @delotte1. thank you!

Negotiating a settlement. I’m at $10k, opposing counsel is at $20k. My client won’t go higher than $15k. OC has come down to 17.5k and says his client won’t budge from that. Do I offer 12.5k so we can hopefully meet in the middle at 15k? Is that how the settlement game is played? Seems dumb we can’t just say let’s meet in the middle now and be done with this. (I’m a first year, first time negotiating a settlement on my own and I don’t want to screw this up!)
