How do I answer “why are you leaving Deloitte” in an interview without trashing my current job? The truth is that Deloitte has low pay, uninteresting work, and extremely slow career progression with little opportunity to differentiate oneself from peers, so I am looking at other firms which don’t have those issues.

Idk why people ask. It’s all bs and everyone knows why..

If the role you're applying to is a little different in responsibilities I would highlight that over anything else. "I honestly just realized I wanted to focus more on X. Currently I dont in my role but I've done x,y,z which has made me realize this is where I want to focus and the opportunity is present with you and your team."

Having tough time deciding between IB & Consulting. My thought process: I have a "better" background for IB (TAS/valuation) and with tech layoffs, this might push more potential would-be tech applications to pursue consulting (there by increased competition)? Additionally, you can do IB intern and full time consulting but not vice versa. I prefer consulting, but IB seems like the "safer" option? And if consulting does get hit hard, I would hopefully have a full time IB offer via internship.

They could have told the same when they ask for salary expectations. I feel something fishy.

DD has great people and WLB, but pay is low and you’re not given the tools and resources to succeed + truly make an impact. Google and Apple are ideal but need backups. Like is Salesforce still good?
