I’m interviewing for a MD/exec level role within industry.. big jump in pay etc. I’m through the first and second round (recruiter, then hiring manager). Now there’s at least 5 more - stakeholders, other direct reports of hiring manager etc.. ending with one more interview with the lead if all goes well.
My question is what might be the sorts of questions and conversation with these other stakeholders?

Why would you leave accenture? (And please, don’t say anything that relates to pay)

funny

What does that have to do with the question?

They might ask you about that or they could steer in this direction which is very common for your industry. Given your background, it could even be focused on that. However, I wouldn’t think they need a conversation on this. So, very likely it would be all about that

I suspect they are looking for fit, culture etc. Is the hiring manager newer to the company? That might be a reason to engage other opinions. Also, for an exec role, it does make sense to get a broader perspective to make sure your approach and the company’s align.
I went through it and am glad I did - I realized I wouldn’t be comfortable working with the peers, even though the CEO, CFO and CIO and I clicked well, so declined the offer.

Interesting to hear, thanks pwc!

Currently a big 4 consultant and got an offer from FAANG for a strategy and ops role that would bring my total comp up 60%. I’m really grateful for the offer and really excited, however, I am also interviewing with MBB. It has always been a goal of mine to work for tier 1 strategy firm as I’ve always felt on the outside looking in at big4. I feel like most exit ops from strategy would be S&O industry roles but still can’t get these MBB firms out of my mind. Am I just overthinking this?
