Our interviews aren’t like typical interviews it’s more laid back like a conversation. They just want to get to know you and see if you’re a good fit in our company. Come with a great personality and don’t seem like a robot. Good luck.

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?
