Partner round interview prep suggestions?

My experience - First round interviews tend to be more structured and "by the book". They're typically conducted by Consultants and Project Leaders who are relatively new to interviewing so they follow the interview question given to them/standard format with charts and such. Partner interviews can be more open ended and less rigid. One partner asked me to throw out a number first and then do the sizing after that (to get a sense for my intuition and also see if I could identify/reflect later on why my initial number was too large or small). They're usually a very friendly bunch - so don't worry too much :) What office is this for?

I'd be curious to know how are Deloitte partners compared to PwC partners. I've heard + experienced that they're more douchey. OP I'm assuming you're asking about Deloitte partners?
