Yale vs Stern?
Does anyone have experience interviewing with Deloitte Internal Services? I had my final interview a week and a half ago, and received positive feedback throughout. The hiring manager had positive things to say and mentioned they hoped to make a decision by the end of last week. It’s now Friday the week after. The role still shows as “Interviews in Process.” We did discuss potential start dates, but no salary. Any experience with receiving offers for an internal services role? Is this common?

If you have to ask, you already know that online degrees aren't respected
Good point. Our team is growing and this person was referred to me by a trusted acquaintance. It just feels odd referring someone with an online degree to the partners. We did end up meeting for lunch last week and things went well.
Yes
I think the question really is will they know the difference if you just dont advertise that you got your degree online? Just say you got a degree from x university and leave it at that.
I got my master in accounting from an online program but not an online university. I think it’s different if it’s one of those diploma mills like the University of Phoenix
Depends on the university/college you/they obtained it from. College degree is a proxy to your overall aptitude and while not a direct indicator of performance it assist hiring managers to determine how someone will perform in a high performance culture. I would also add that specially at big4 teaming/working together is a big deal. Folks who receive degrees online generally don’t have as much experience working collaboratively. But everyone has a different story, so how you tell it and why you went with online vs in person will drive if you get in or not.
If it’s big four yes.
Was it your official degree? Or you had an official degree and got an online diploma to change careers?
If you have good experience to pair with it, it becomes less of an issue. If you are fresh from university you are going to need to start with smaller firms
I’ve seen it matter when trying to place people on projects in fed gov engagements
Depends on for what and what level you’re at
What Accountant 1 said. I went to the proper four-year school and got my first degree in an unrelated subject. A few years into that career started an online program with a related state university that also offers in-person classes but is generally known for being distance oriented. I obviously don’t go out of my way to advertise that I did the online option and it has never been an issue whatsoever.
