Standard 2-3 interview. Are you coming over as a lateral hire? Why don't you try to make it in as a Senior Associate? This way, you can make a promotion on the way over. You may want Accenture as well.

Experienced Associate role was created by Billy Owens and a few others. Hogwash.

Push for Senior and do not budge on it. Accepting an EA role was the worst career move I ever made. It took me two years to get to Senior (despite great feedback at CRTs) and I already had four years of work experience. Total bullshit.

My firm really values work life balance. You can be successful in consulting and still work 40 hour weeks. You just have to set boundaries with your manager.
