Interviewing for a direct admit partner role (audit) and I’m curious as to the key points the partners in this group would value and want to hear from a candidate. Coming from a firm where I spent 10 years and wanted to gain a broader view. Appreciate any insights.

Interesting I didn’t think firms direct admitted audit partners very often. Seems like there is always a significant pipeline and no real need for outside expertise.

Usually the interest will be on who you know at big clients

I’m not an audit partner, but I would imagine that quality and risk management is everything for those guys. I would focus on demonstrating your knowledge and experience in this area specific to your industry as well as a fair share of technical accounting expertise.

Also, do interviewers still appreciate a hand written thank you for the interview?
