Interviewing for Strategy&, specifically for the Cloud and Digital Transformation group under tech Strategy as a senior associate.

I Would like to know what would make a candidate standout here. I already did 3 interviews and now have the final round Partner interviews this week. I have a lot of strategy experience with tech components but I am not a tech expert, but I am extremely interested in increasing my knowledge and joining. Any tips?

Hey I legit started at S& a couple weeks in the cloud & digital strat group as a senior associate. So i was literally in your shoes not too long ago. With the partners they want to know that you will work well in the team, that u can take direction, that they can put u in front of the client as the main do-er. I was cased by a couple partners as well so be prepared for that. Most importantly… act like youve been there and that you belong. Say you are comfortable with whatever and you have experience in those areas. As cliche as it sounds make it a conversation and add color to yourself by saying you went golfing over the weekend or something to humanize yourself. Feel free to dm happy to help!

Demographics for ref: 30, live in GA, unmarried, no kids, no real estate (yet, planning to buy after market cools). I don’t envision I’ll amass a ton of physical assets over my life so really just need to say where my various $ accts go (401k, pension, IRA, etc)

Trust cost was $2,900. Didn’t give price for will.
