Just got an interview at KPMG, Human Capital Advisory.
They say there’s no Case Interview but I see a “Situational” Interview segment. Anyone have any insight or advice on that?

I’d imagine a bunch of behavioral questions (what would you do in this situation, describe a time you overcame a conflict, etc) answer questions in STAR format

Thank you for the advice! They provided some prompts along those lines with my confirmation email, so I’ll focus on the ones they provided.

You need to be rational in answering questions during a situational interview. It's more on behavioral or sitautional questions. STAR format is the way to go. Good luck!

Thanks Analyst 1. They know I have however much work experience I have, but I assume they’ll still pose questions that push the boundaries of my experience?

I was asked what excel functions I would use in a certain scenario in my “Situational” interview… was also asked what I would do in a couple of office scenarios. Was asked 1 case question. This was in advisory. I have to say I think the questions I was asked in my situational interview were uncommon/made up by the interviewer himself…

I’m wondering if there’s going to be any conflict/look bad etc if there’s an overlap.

I started working as a consultant with EY 8 months ago. Even though I'm content and learning a lot there, I think there are places where I might easily earn more money. I received a job offer last week from Alvarez & Marsal to work as a consultant at the Transaction Advisory Department (financial due diligence team), where I will be paid more fairly (salary & bonus). Should I accept it? Or would leaving EY that early not be wise?
