Hey, best of luck with your interview! I'm prepping for an interview in the states, and I'm so, so nervous. I don't -think- KPMG does anything weird with their behavioral interviews, but have you checked on Glassdoor for case interview reviews?

It would be helpful to find out about KPMG’s refreshed values and think about how your experiences may relate.

I’ve been offered a position that I’m really excited about. Their initial offer was 10K more than the top of the salary range they gave me for the position when I asked during the interview process and at the top end of the salary requirements I set for myself. My partner thinks I should still negotiate for more even though I’m happy with the offer. Am I an idiot if I don’t negotiate in this case? Realistically, I don’t think I’d get much more than that, but should I negotiate out of principle?
