Typically for these roles, the company will want to ensure your skills align with the responsibilities of the role. I'd determine how your previous positions make you a perfect fit. Doesn't hurt to brush up on the company and their values either. Congrats on the interview!

I'm the only employee with a background in finance in a tech startup growing at a 300%+ per year.

Any advice/mentorship would be wonderful!

I applied to a job at KPMG and did the first two rounds of interviews, general interview, then case study and competency. Never before have I had such a positive feedback at the end of an interview of the 2nd, both said really like me, I did well etc.
It's now been 3 weeks since the interview and I still haven't heard back from the team other than the odd HR email saying they are following up with them. Is there something going on internally, I.e hiring freeze in the London office atm?
