Any walk-in interviews in Pune? Please Help
Microsoft Received some feedback yesterday that I’m “Too smart for the role and they feared that I’d get bored and leave quickly. “ It’s honestly the most confused I’ve ever left a call. Does anyone know what this means? I thought it was a compliment initially but in retrospect it just doesn’t seem very genuine. Have y’all had anyone hit you with this one?
Cleared Accenture Skill interview by answering almost all the questions and received congratulatory mail for HR round and submitting all documents. Then after a week received a call from HR saying that due to some technical issue, the skills round will happen again and an online assessment was set up. In the assessment, questions which were not directly related to the profile were asked and then a rejection mail was received. Does this happen a lot?

FDD all star here. You do not do any modeling in FDD. PwC 1 response may be a farse. Remain vigilant.

1) be able to articulate well what you do/have done at your current position and how skills would translate to FDD, if applicable
2) learn what FDD is...what analyses are performed and why clients care about them (i.e. how they affect purchase price in the deal)
When I interviewed at Deloitte (external hire senior associate) it was essentially a 3 round interview where the first was coffee with the hiring manager who gets to know you and figure out if you're a good fit with the team, second is a technical test on Excel where you have an hour to perform a model, clean data etc based on a 3 years of FS data and then a 45 minute q&a period with 2 managers and the third is with a partner (I was with a technical partner so I had a lot of technical questions but I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be more relax and casual). I was an external hire so I then had a few more calls with HR and the partner to negotiate salary, start date etc. As a new hire you're probably not going to be able to negotiate compensation and just accept what they give you.
Oh and for the Excel test, I basically got a word doc with questions/instructions on what to do and I a few Excel "PBCs". You would move all the Excel PBCs into tabs of a new Excel then create a tab to answer each of the questions from the word doc. I used index match to present the PBC data cleanly because the columns and rows were all messed up yty then all the other "answer" tabs would use your cleaned up FS which has formals to the PBC. Not sure if this helps at all
