Emphasize the good professional relationships you you were managed to build with the customers over the years, talk about the end to end solutions and holistic approach the SE role will allow you to address. Mention traveling is NOT a problem, and good luck

I’d say for SE, it would be good to focus on the business reason behind everything you do. I.e. we have this product that does this cool stuff, which is going to lead to person x only having to work on a task for an hour vs. a day.
It’s important to communicate the why as much as the what.

Good luck!!

Hi! I am seeking for an advise, anything helps! I applied to Accenture’s entry level analyst program. I applied a few days ago (I know it’s a bit late, but the application is still open thankfully). Yesterday, I joined a resume workshop w/ an Accenture recruiter. She went through my resume and said that I have a strong one! I’ve also set up a coffee chat w/ her next week. Unfortunately, I got an email today from the system, they decided not to move forward :( Should I reach out to her abt this?

What’s the best way to turn down a 2nd interview? During the 1st interview, I learned that the compensation for the role is not within the range that I am looking for and requires 400 more billable hours a year than what I bill now. I’d basically be laterally for my current salary just to bill 400 more hours. I also wasn’t aware that the local office was strictly ID. Firm website advertises lots of practice areas. Any advice? TIA!
