I left Deloitte for Accenture a year ago on good terms but am boomeranging. I had my first interview today and the recruiter mentioned a case study interviews this week. Is a case study typical for boomerangs?

Context: GPS Human Capital. I was an experienced hire (4 years) brought on as an analyst (didn’t realize it was a bad deal), stayed at D for 2.5 years, recruited by Accenture for their SC-level role, realized D is a better fit and am trying to go back as SC.

Thanks!

It’s WAY different between the two companies in my experience having been at both. Will always depend on practice though

What makes you say that you were a better fit for Deloitte? I am only curious because I have some interviews lined up with Accenture (different practice) but typically the culture is universal at these places

I’ve worked at Deloitte as well and you are right, they always say “we’re #1” I just didn’t really like it. It reminded me of the “Odoyle rules” bit from Billy Madison. To each their own, I understand the appeal as well

After doing freelance for the last two years, I’ve decided to go back to the corporate world. I’ve been applying a ton of places but keep getting turned down immediately - not even a first interview and I can’t figure out why.

I feel like I have a lot of good accolades as far as awards, a graduate certificate program board I’m on, really good stats from my previous work, etc.

I have 7 years experience. Are people looking for someone w/ less experience/cheaper?
