Trying to transfer from audit to FDD at my firm, should I expect to be asked technical questions in the interviews? Or since it’s an internal transfer will it be more general?

Expect politics and having to return to audit for a busy season before you can transfer. Happened to me and just decided to leave instead

Have a competing offer and they’ll let you go right away

The typical way is through a rotational program where you get to work in FDD for a summer, do one more busy season, and then try to transfer full time. Questions arent too technical - just know your WC metrics and how accounts roll monthly. If you want an ey referral DM me

You should expect and prepare for them

Lots of questions here but I’m sure this will help those prepping along with those looking for where to begin: How long did you prep/are you prepping for your case interviews? How did you start and in hindsight was there a better way? What was your favorite case prep resources, books, or courses? What was the least helpful resource that you wish you hadn’t wasted time on? How did you build up your business acumen and creativity? What is your weakest section of the interview currently?

Hi 🐠 ! If I’m 100% new to casing (have a business degree but have been in audit for a year), how long do you recommend practicing case interviews to be strong at it? Is 6-8 weeks sufficient?

I interviewed for a role last week and followed up with the recruiter this week. The recruiter said the team is still working on finishing the final interviews before making a decision but if I have any competing offers or timeline issues, I should let her know.

Does this mean that they already have a decision on my interview and are just waiting to send out the rejects all together or is there still hope?

In a social chat the other day, a person in our group expressed strongly that people should be hired regardless of their legal status to work in any country, as long as they were in willing to work, and stated they were qualified for the job.

For context, everyone in that social outing was a migrant to the country, and the person expressing their view was from Mexico and while a minor crossed the US border illegally but left shortly before they were considered an adult.
