I have an hour long interview with a MD at Accenture - Strategy & Consulting. The recruiter said it was just a “general conversation” but the SM who interviewed me in the previous round mentioned that he was an expert in the niche area that I’m being hired for. What should I expect? Should I be expecting technical knowledge-based questions?

Sorry, should have mentioned MD

If you are going for SM role , your 2nd interview is with an MD. Shouldn’t be too hard , some project experience, executive presence , some fit , biz Dev type interview. Finally one with practice lead , just chit chat . Good luck !

Plz post here if D1's approach works. I'm very curious how it doesn't blow up 😉

You will only know by asking…you should ask the recruiter exactly what you just posted to clarify bc you want to be best prepared to f’n rock the interview! Good luck!

Thanks for the advice! I’ll try reaching out to the recruiter on Monday

I'd expect some scenario based questions like "How would you design a xyz system" or "How to approach a value realisation problem"? This is as technical as a MD would go.

Correction: This would be a CaseMD round. Typical consulting style but less focus on calculations.

If strategy then expect case

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't?

I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
