I’m an audit 3rd year associate trying to make the jump to operations consulting but haven’t had any luck with interviews. Any tips/tricks on improving with that? I’ve applied to other big 4, boutique firms etc.

Have you reviewed your resume? Added all of the points around efficiency projects? From my own experience, I know it’s difficult to transfer within PwC if you haven’t networked within the targeted group, so youre on the right track looking at other T2s. What I would suggest is start your own initiative around inefficiencies within the audit practice/project, sell those points, and kill the interviews.

I am not interested in the job that a recruiter had me interview for after my first interview.

Keep interviewing and see if they offer me a job then reject? Tell them both now? Tell recruiter? Tell company directly?

I haven't interviewed in years and feel absolutely out of place and underconfident. Not able to bring my A game to the table (I can't pitch myself as ideal candidate for position).

I have very strong profile for my experience. All my performance reviews continuously state I'm going above & beyond and theres nothing they can think of suggesting I do different. Just can't interview well

Hi fishes,
I got interviewed for
CGI , CGI Communications Inc, 2nd February- technical round and 7th February- Managerial round. Till now, I didn't get any update from HR team. I tried calling Hr and dropped mails about the status. But she is not picking calls or replying to my mails. I tried calling the the person who setup L1 interview, she told I was not selected. What should I consider now, is my candidature on hold or should I think I got Rejected without any confirmation from HR team.

Considering jumping to a boutique SF consulting firm from Big 4. Comparable pay + equity, but of course it doesn’t have the cachet of a big 4. Think it’s worth the risk given the potential upside?

QQ- who do you fw after interview in regards to next round? Main recruiter or 2nd recruiter who help facilitating? Or just email one and cc’d other one?
