Big 4 to Big 4 - talk about how good the culture at their organisation is when compared to your current one, tell them that you’ve read it on xyz sites or your friends work there.

Big 4 to Accenture or Infosys - talk about the IT services industry as a whole and tell them how different they are when compared to peers and that is the exact reason why you plan to join them.

Turn around the question and make it into a discussion

Not sure of how good is Infosys in Management Consulting. Also I hope you are talking about Accenture Strategy and not ACN, ACN is pretty average. ACN calls itself as Accenture Strategy, deep down they are just backend folks.

I generally mention, career growth, explore new domain and to work on more challenging problems. The challenges in my current project is saturated so I'm looking for new opportunities. This worked for me in all the interviews i gave.

Yes, good enough.
Need to customise a little I guess, especially for non IT, Management/Strategy Consulting roles.

These are some of the answers I have given and got selected:
“The problems I am working on are too easy, looking for more challenges “
“They asked me to change location but I cannot”
“You seem like a very smart person therefore I will tell you the truth - it is for the money”

Quite cocky! :D
