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

Hi All,

I will do MBA also post working in one of these firms.

Thank You

On June 21, I had an interview with two managers to become an HR Coordinator. Everything went smoothly, and I got good feedback, so I moved on to the management round of interviews. The recruiter initially stated that I would go through two rounds; however, between June 22-June 23, there were really five rounds, and I am still awaiting the scheduling of one more interview, even though it is now July. I'm becoming frustrated at this point. I’m still actively interviewing with other companies.

Also, she mentioned that your current project is based on your X competency so we can't change it.
