Interviewer 🐠, what are some good questions that you’ve been asked by a candidate that made them stood out from the rest?

I like candidates that ask the probing questions about what they heard as concerns about the firm (culture, staffing model, pace of projects, etc) and ask whether I have the same experience and how I handle them.

like

“What do people struggle with the most when adapting to the culture here?”

like

“What’s one thing you would change about <firm name>?”

If the can’t ask good questions and aren’t curious, they’ll struggle as a consultant, so I strongly disagree.

I like to ask candidates to tell me stuff that isn’t on their resume.

What's your value proposition to your firm and your client!?

What is the culture like at the firm? What is your expectation of someone coming into this role?
