I am a SM at Deloitte. I have an interview at another firm for a SM role. What types of questions can I expect? Any tips/suggestions from anyone who has a perspective or has gone through a similar situation? Thank you in advance for helping me prepare better.

At SM level, a large part of your role is going to be ability to sell I would think. You should be able to communicate that ability and how you can bring it to the new firm

Sell me this pen 🤣

Jokes aside -

1. Tell me about time where you grew engagement revenue by 3x (unless you are interviewing for a purely delivery role)
2. Be ready to deep dive in industry space.. current challenges, future trends, changing regulatory landscape etc.

Currently, in accenture. I have had very bad billable hours and not much achievement this fiscal year. I am worried of getting fired, so i applied for another job. Got offered may be 5% above my current pay with 5k bonus, but in lower level at Deloitte. I think working lower level will give me more opportunities to learn as i think i have lot to learn. I made decision based on my gut and accepted the offer. I have not talked to anyone on accenture side yet. What you think?

You barely know what you are doing, everyone is smarter than you, clever and competitive, and you have a constant case of imposter syndrome, except it's not just your imagination, you are unprepared.
