During an interview with a partner, what signs do you look for to determine if the opportunity is a good one for you? (cont’d)

I’m not actively seeking a new job, but I was approached by Deloitte with an interesting opportunity, so I decided to go through with the interview process (which has really just been one informal coffee and one actual interview so far). I have a final “informal” discussion with the partner of the practice later this week.

The last time I went through a recruiting process was after undergrad, so I was obviously not looking for the same things back then. Any pointers on things or red flags I should look for, or specific questions I should ask?

The comp package will obviously play a role in my final decision, but I want to make sure I look at all signs to determine if this is the right opportunity for me.

A lot of this depends on what you are looking for in your next role, something triggered you to have the informal chat- i.e. leadership, small and new team vs. Large established practice which will then tie to your accounts/financial targets, change in function/sector.

But more than anything it just needs to feel right- not sure how to put this, gut feeling perhaps. At the end of it all, don’t forget Deloitte is an ocean- so if you land on the wrong team it isn’t the end of the world, there are numerous ways to network and wriggle out. Good luck.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
