Screw up? No
Made tiny mistakes? Yes, but only once each in two cases, and immediately corrected

ish. Partner round McK I couldn’t figure out the final calculation and he just let me sit there in awkward silence until I literally said I don’t know, could you please provide some guidance. Got the offer. Bain I screwed math (corrected when promoted) in one of the first round cases because I misread my handwriting. Also got the offer

Screw up no but a lot of applicants will find fault from any tiny mistakes they do. You don’t need to be perfect but catching your mistakes, not getting stuck, etc are all important

No, they take casing seriously when making a decision

Hello,

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?
