I have been in Audit at BDO for almost 2 years. I have 2 interviews for risk consulting positions. one at KPMG and one at Deloitte. What should I say when they ask me why I wanna switch? Also, what technical questions will they ask me? I need your help.

For the "why do you want to switch" questions, just say that you are looking for new opportunities and challenges and that you think x company will provide those. Don't criticize bdo, but make it clear you just want new challenges.

SA1: Thank you! I’m thinking to say that I have been studying the market and it looks like consulting is the future. I like the fact that you’re always looking forward. In audit you’re always looking back and doing the same thing every year. As such, consulting resonates with me more than audit. Is that good?

Thanks dude!

I just keep feeling anxious that I’m not meeting expectations and feel reluctant to ask for help. Anyone in the same boat?
