Deloitte Recruiter grilled me during my screening call and didn’t seem impressed. She said she’s going to advance me to the next round though. Is this normal?

You let a recruiter grill you during a screening call? Not even sure how that happens, but if you advanced, it shouldn't matter so don't worry about it

Doesn’t matter as long as you go ahead in the rounds & get what you want.

My last round of case interviews seemed like I’ve bombed, literally said “ I don’t know” to 3-4 questions.
Went on to be hired and spent 2 years with D

Experienced hire here, I got grilled by recruiter saying I would only qualify for an analyst position...after my rounds with 1 SM, and 2 PPMD received Consultant level offer and the recruiter was shook....
