What does an interview for a senior manager switching firms look like (Deloitte to PwC)? Mostly experience and behavioural? Would they contact people at your old firm for references?

Yeah for me it was mostly situational and they are trying to ensure your resume is legit. I spoke with maybe 10 people at SM and up. They had me present something just to see the soft skills but at this level the stakes are too high to play interview games with you. I declined to provide references as it was a competitor and they were cool with that. I did have to disclose 2 years of previous clients to avoid any conflicts.

Thank you SM1. Very helpful. You are the kind of people i would love to work with. Thank you for taking time to post this

Also every big 4 thinks their Director is better level other Director, their Manager is better than other Manager. In reality all are fish from the same pond.

Keep in mind PwC has both SM and Director now... so make sure it’s apples to apples

Hi everyone,

I'm going for a role for Account Director and have gone through the interviews with the head of accounts, BD as well as the ECD's. I received the following email at the end of the day:

"You are one of two candidates in the final round.

One thing we haven’t spoken about are your salary expectations. Could you have a think and let me know early next week as well as your employment status (residency permit)."

What would be the best way to answer this response? Appreciate the help
