Easiest question ever. You like the challenges and rewards of being in a client serving role but you want to transition from looking only at how your clients did things to helping your clients with future decisions.

You can't answer this question yourself, but somehow think you'll make it through the rest of the management consulting interview questions? I think a better approach is to try and think of questions they will ask and then formulate your own answers. If you can't do that on your own then it's going to be tough to be successful in a field that requires a ton of critical thinking.

No idea. I'd bet there are a ton of consulting interview guides online though.

You think they get super technical?

Be prepared in the interviews to discuss in detail what areas you performed on the audit side, your strengths and weaknesses, and how you feel you'll be able to add value to their organization.

Thanks for the advice i mean i can answer it but sometimes i suck at fluffing up answers. Got an interview today with another big 4!

^Are you going into true management consulting (I.e. Strategy) or into general business consulting? Could impact the way questions are structured, as the nature of the work is a bit different.

I haven't interviewed in years and feel absolutely out of place and underconfident. Not able to bring my A game to the table (I can't pitch myself as ideal candidate for position).

I have very strong profile for my experience. All my performance reviews continuously state I'm going above & beyond and theres nothing they can think of suggesting I do different. Just can't interview well
