consultant 🐠 - just had a final interview with one of the partners of a mid tier consultancy. In the interview, he didn’t ask too much about my skills and it was almost entirely fit questions and questions from me. the interview went for 40 mins and I had 2 interviews before this fwiw. Does anyone have any experience with a situation like this?

Sounds pretty typical of a final round interview: presumably you demonstrated you could do the job in the earlier two interviews. Now they want to check that they actually like you to work with you and be willing to put you in front of clients.
