If you're joining the west, Power BI and Alteryx. Can't speak for other regions as we all operate differently. Good news is most big4 audit practices offer internal trainings and enterprise licenses for Alteryx. Awesome tool, learn it even if you're getting out of the big4!

Deloitte
Hi everyone, I just had a first round interview for Deloitte M&A Valuation Analyst role based in Australia. I feel like I went pretty well, they were pretty keen at my Analytics background ( DA/Modelling) & my interest in finance (preparing CFA L1 atm)
However I haven’t heard back anything after two days(e.g. book my time for round 2 interview)…I know there is supposed to two more round of interviews.
Just wondering if this is the normal waiting time or I’m not the person they looking?
