Interviewing for a Deloitte risk advisory (IA) position and I’m really anxious. I have about 2.5 YOE at EY but I’m still nervous about answering questions incorrectly. What’s the best way to prep for interviews and what kind of questions can I expect them to ask me? I guess I’m not 100% confident since I still feel like I have a lot to learn about IA and internal control testing.

At 2.5 YOE I would not be anticipating tremendous depth of expertise, but would like to hear about your specific experience and how it would relate to what we deliver. Something that demonstrates general aptitude and ability to learn

My 2 cents, especially for Analyst and Consultant levels

This makes me feel better. Thank you!

Do you have a pulse?

funny

Lol as of now yes. Idk if I’ll have it during the interview though. I get too nervous 😢

You have big 4 experience, which is a huge plus. Don’t sweat it - you got this

uplifting

Thank you for the support. I guess I’m just worried about them asking me questions that I don’t have the answers to which will make me look bad.

I also came from EY internal audit. No need to worry.

It’s going to be more of a trying to gauge if you’re a good fit assuming your resume aligns well

Recently started my own firm and interested in others thoughts. Are there resources out there for practical advice or is it only something that comes with experience? For example, I can take let's say a 601A client and use the resources available to me to learn how to do it. But if a client asks me is it better to marry my fiance in her home country, bring her here on a K-1 or have her visit on a B-2, that's not learned from a book or webinar. How does one learn how to evaluate new cases?
