Have an interview for a strat consulting traineeship at KPMG. 30min interview + 1.5h case study, any tips or pointers I should focus on before the interview? I have an extremely international background, and thus want to pursue consulting internationally further on. Is wanting an international career at the same firm something that should be mentioned in the interview or can it be viewed negatively in case they want to keep hires at the office Im interviewing for.

First, I would find out what other trainees did after being at the program. Recommend reaching out to a few beforehand and then during the interview asking what folks in that position did over time. Practice casing is extremely important and requires time and rhythm and first understanding how to properly break down problems. If you haven’t been practicing, I would do that stat. Good luck!

I’m graduating in December, with a background in environmental economics and policy. Consulting didn’t work out this cycle.

What can I do to make this happen? I have friends and connections at Bain and Kearney and the other firms as well, but not sure if it’s feasible now.

Hi All,

Say you have an offer for Senior Test Engineer and SDET (not senior).
Compensation is same. Both the companies are good.

Given the narrowing boundaries between testing and dev, which position is better in the long run? I thought it'd be SDET.
But, I'd like to have expert/experienced opinion.

Incoming junior-level consultant wants to know what is “billable hour”.
Once in a while I see discussions around billable hours, but I don’t know how that works. After googling, it appears to me that billable hour only matters to me if my salary is paid by hours. Since I will receive a fixed annual salary, does this mean that I don’t need to worry about the concept of billable hours?
A related questions: generally speaking, is the bonus related to the hours that I worked?
Thanks!
