Most important behavioral questions to anticipate? My first interviews since securing my campus offer are upcoming and I’m trying to brush off the rust. “Tell me about a time when...” feels very different now that I have more than just group project academic experience

Most common ones are
1: how did you deal with a project with constantly changing requirements
2, Mention one scenario where you failed as a professional and what did you do to avoid it in next project
3. What kind of roles would you find more difficult and why?
4. How will you address a scenario where you had number of people leaving your team and how did you ensure the delivery quality?

I try to come up with a few examples that will work across a number of different questions. Examples covering difficult stakeholders / clients, working across different teams or being outside your comfort zone

Have you encountered any other consulting-specific questions? Such as a time when working with a difficult team member —> client/stakeholder

Try to keep answers as real as possible than will help you steer the follow up questions. You might easily find more smart answers online but you could get stuck with a follow up question.

I’m asking what the questions are, not some magical right answers lol

FL peoples: I signed a lease for a new place to start May 1 as my current landlord sold the unit I'm in. Turns out, the buyer wants to keep renting the unit and asked if I want to stay.

For the new lease, I'm still pending full approval from a condo association as I have to do an in person interview. I have paid first months rent in advance. Is there anyway to get that money back?

I didn't ask to increase the amount or JB and I strongly believe I informed early so they can look for other candidates. Is this bluff? Any HR here to clarify

Additional Posts in Consulting Exit Opportunities

I was just talking to a younger friend who goes to Cal and It seems like the kids these days hate FAANG or at least Amazon and Facebook are not desired at all. I personally don’t see too many issues working at either Amazon or Facebook because I work at Deloitte where I’m sure we have many questionable clients and worked in financial services before. Curious on whether people are thinking about the ethics of their exit company when deciding to move?
