Hi! I have an interview with a MBB coming up but still feel very unprepared especially with making the frameworks and solving cases in full. Would asking for additional extensions reflect negatively or is it better to just try my best? Thank you.

I don't think so. Just be honest with the interviewer. If you have a recruiter, you can talk to him/her first.

Hello!

I joined Accenture 5 months back as a lateral hire ( Level 11 ) and have been a part of a project since day one.

I am not enjoying my work here, no motivation at all. Dreaded to report to work and having stress and anxiety. My manager is trying to micromanage me as productivity is on the lower side.

Another thing is, I have started to dislike my current tech and no more interested in it.

How do PPMDs make sure when you are replacing an incumbent, you don't get handed down a broken system ?

I feel clients are not always honest and hide a lot of landmines which a consulting company can walk into and blamed for it.
