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 recently had an initial interview for a technical recruiter position. The guy on the phone stated that this is not a 9-5 job and long hours are expected. I proceed to ask how much PTO is offered and he said that is not recommend within the first 6 months of working and the harder you work the more PTO you receive. From that conversation, I saw instant red flags. Any thoughts?

My company covers in depth results each week, including meetings set/attended, wins, revenue, retention etc. I feel as if evaluating in such depth is detrimental to the psyche, as you never get to “ride the high.” In addition, some weeks are simply slower than others, and it’s not always representative of what the results at the end of the period or quarter will be. Is this not a big deal, and I’m I placing too much importance on it? Or is it beneficial to review results less frequently?
