How are interview questions asked post your first job in PA? For example, I’m close to wrapping up my second year at Deloitte and interviewing for underwriters, FP&A, assistant controller roles. Are they still the standard behavioral questions? What should I expect? Any advise will be beneficial

Have found it can be a mix of behavioral as well as technical in the way of asking you to do an assignment or asking you to walk through a standard you’re familiar with etc.

Mix of behavioral still and just explaining your work experience more thorough

Some are standard behaviorals, but I found that it’s more about what you have on your resume and your experience and any questions you may have.

I personally find interviews with experience much easier since I can ask better, more specific questions and have more to discuss than in college.

Right - because it’s just straight behavioral when applying for your first Job. Okay that makes sense

Had an interview for an associate position at Citi. Interviewee was based in London and I’m in NYC. The only interview time that worked was 6am. I was barely functioning and feel like I truly messed up in my answers because I couldn’t not think clearly. I have another with the head of the division next week again at 6am (pre determined before this interview). It was also hard because the division’s core work is private enough that there was not much prep I could do beforehand. Tips?

I had a job interview for a role that I really want. The hiring manager scheduled me for an interview and did not show up.

This is a major red flag, but I can’t help but feel that I am missing out since this role pays 50% over what I currently make. Should I let the recruiter know? What’s your take on this?
