Obviously

Be yourself. Relax. If the reached out the likelihood is that they liked something about you. First call is culture, fit and overall check if you’re fit to go forward.

Something I would have expected from like KPMG but not Deloitte or PwC 😂

Clearly express interest and have a good reason why this is the best time for you to make the move. Would also align personal values with ACN and how that’s translates to the role. At this point they just want to see if you’re interested and if you’d be good fit. Good luck!

Phone screen is typically just to validate your eligible to fill the position and with a recruiter. Usually ask questions to ensure you meet basic qualifications, understand what you're looking for in your next role, and what experience you have.

Next 1-2 interviews will either be a behavioral or skills interview or a combination of those with a manager or senior manager. Final interview is usually with a senior manager or managing director.

Ask the recruiter lots of better questions and talk about your exceptional experiences that last a lifetime (jk)
Just be yourself, be confident in your achievements - ask them lots of questions on the process, the role and what they are looking for

I currently work as an APM at a FAANG company but recently received an offer to join an MBB. I’m very excited about the role but didn’t realize I’d need to take a pay cut when I applied (~100k base + ~20k bonus + ~60k equity vs. 90k base + 10-20k bonus). Considering that I currently work 40-60 hours/week, I’ll be making significantly less per hour at the MBB. I’m very interested in the opportunity but also don’t want to make a poor financial decision early in my career. Thank you for your time!
