Hi there, I have 3.5 YOE working for NHS Finance. I applied to Deloitte Risk Advisory, Public Sector (London, UK) and was successful. Waiting to hear back with package offer but it’s been over 2 weeks - was told they may offer M2 grade, any ideas what this is?
I’m also interviewing for Senior consultant role also at Deloitte. How much would this typically pay?
Torn whether to stay within NHS as I will be getting an internal promotion or move to Deloitte.
What’s the WLB like? Good job security?

I think you can say something really low key and respectful like “I’ve always admired your work” at the beginning of the interview but leave it at that. Anything beyond that and he could think you’re kissing his ass to get a job.
I’ll offer some follow on thoughts to my original post. (For context I come to consulting via creative and have been interviewing and hiring for 20 years) Best case scenario the person is susceptible to flattery and it gets you noticed but it’s less time to ask questions about the role, how you’ll be successful etc. worst case scenario- it doesn’t work at all. I’ve had it happen to me (admiration of my work, not full “fanning out” - Im not knowable like that) and it’s never affected my decision making and sometimes has made me think that the interviewee was trying to deflect. The risk is up to you but I’d focus on the range of possible outcomes and what you think you get out of them.
We’re very, very, very susceptible to flattery—but then there is that line where all of a sudden it seems calculated to get a job. So speak from the heart I guess—but maybe keep it about the work (ask “how did you make that?” or “how did you get the client to buy..” Etc) and not what you think you know about him, because that might seem weird.
STROKE THAT EGO. NURTURE IT.

It worked for me with Todd Tilford.

Just say “I love your work” and leave it at that.
