I’m currently at Accenture (started Nov ‘20) now I guess I would be an experienced hire? I have an interview tomorrow and it says it’s a technical. I believe I’m interviewing to be a functional consultant so I have no idea what a technical interview would entail. Any advice? Is it just a case interview?

A ‘technical interview’ will dig in to tech details. Don’t know what the subject matter is but it would be something like:

Tell me about what azure tools solve X, and why is that the cheapest option.

What Python package allows you to Y and why would that be better than Z

Here’s the use case that the client needs to solve, what methods, architecture, and products would you use to solve. Go deep.

Tell me about <domain> that you know and some direction that they can optimize X.

Technical isn’t behavioral isn’t case study (how you think) it’s tooling, solution architecture, domain, and how to apply the same.

Hope this helps. Good luck!!

I’m an associate partner w 22 yrs exp and just had a similar convo yesterday re: upskilling. No matter what you study and what agile tool you select to learn more about, your next client will always use the other one. The majority are very similar w just some interface differences and a couple of unique features. If it comes up that you don’t have exp w their exact platform, draw similarities from what you do know and point out how it relates. DO NOT SAY what you just did “I haven’t used it”.

As a consultant you have the foundation needed for success and your varied client interactions to date have taught you to learn quickly and any gaps will be quickly filled…just like when you’re with a client you can’t say hold on let me Google that, the same goes here. Don’t lie, but also you said it in your post, “I’m an experienced hire” use that to your advantage.

Again, best of luck to you!! Let us know how it went.

What role did you apply to?

I got recruited from linked in so I didn’t apply however I just now saw I was applied for my the recruiter. It’s for an agile functional lead so it looks like maybe it’s an agile technical interview?

Agency producer here. I have an interview with an in-house agency tomorrow and I’m trying to prep myself/anticipate questions that the Exec Producer will ask. Any sample questions you guys can think of? I feel so rusty, it’s been over 5 years since I’ve interviewed anywhere. Very much appreciated!

Is it appropriate to ask the interviewer why the previous person left the role?

I'm doing everything in my power to not quit without another job lined up, and every interview falls through. I'm overwhelmed by my clients, I've had enough corporate koolaid for a lifetime, I could not care less about what I do, and I've started exhibiting destructive behaviors at work but keep getting told I'm doing great.

If I'm going to be stuck here, clearly my attitude is the main problem. How have you learned to find joy in your job? What makes you feel like you matter here? Why stay?

Unsure of how to handle - or what the collective thinks - but in an interview last week COO of the office asks me ‘so are children in your near future?’

Preface, this was preceded by the interviewer going on and on about the need to work long and unfair hours (his words).

This is a pile of bullshit right? Also illegal from what I can gather. Have no desire to pursue the roll but figure I should tell them how shitty that is.

Are we allowed to be as obvious as possible during interviews on what clients we worked on so long as we don’t say their name? Ex: one of my clients went through a huge merger in x industry in my city, and if I were to state that in interviews it would be a dead give away. Is that okay?

Even questions like "find the lesser of the two angles between the two hands of a clock, given the time" or simple geometry problems that don't need DSA knowledge is too hard to attempt.

They claim they know Angular/React/Spring without knowing basic Javascript/Java. 😒
