Hello everyone, I was laid off from a Big 4 firm after a short time, but I’ve recently landed an interview with another Big 4. For those who have returned to the Big 4, what interview questions did you encounter, and how did you prepare? Thank you.

I encountered many of the same questions you faced when you joined your previous firm. The only new question I was asked was why I wanted to make the move. I was also asked about the types of engagements I had worked on.

Hi All, just sharing what on mind to vent it out from my system. Maybe with this I could gain some insights and inspiration.
I have been working as a data scientist since 2018 & have been the bread winner. I have neither been under a proper mentor nor with a team of peers from my field to help me out. I was alone and confused. I have never really got the chance to prove myself which makes me all the more depressed. I'm not sure what to do with my future, indecisive and low on confidence.
