What is it like to interview at D? Is it normal to interview with SC, M, SM before interviewing with partners? Are the virtual interviews recorded?

Depends on the level - I interviewed for a M level back in the day, and was interviewed by a SC (about to be promoted to M), two Ms, a SM, and 2 PPMDs

Know the group and alignment you are joining. I had a technical domain specialization which was my strength, and that is what D was hiring me for. I prepared for my case study where I was expecting a case relating to that. The actual case study was relevant and interestingly the M who ran the interview was a backfill for the original M who couldn’t attend. This guy didn’t know the domain area but quizzed me on the logic, structure and approach. Plus he had a cheer sheet to validate my responses. My interviews with the PPMDs were great, though I was nervous. One of them was renowned for his expertise in a domain, and I was very careful not to bluff on anything. When I didn’t know an answer, I told him I didn’t but followed with my assumption based on xyz. My advice: prepare for the expertise you claim to know, brush up on your past projects you want to talk about especially the impact, and be your honest self. They are also judging if you can be deemed a trustworthy consultant and your body language will speak to that. Also, you’ll hear all sorts of opinions about D is good/bad compared to XYZ, but as you may be aware all firms have their good and bad. In my experience D was by far the best I got to work with compared to other B4/ACN. There are good and not so good people everywhere, but the intellect level at D was higher than the other B4/A. Good luck.

SCs don't do interviews. M and above. Final rounds I believe will be SM or partner, or you might/might not encounter them earlier I think.

Hello fam! Hope you’ll are enjoying your Sunday!

I faked my resume I mean my contracting firm did and I didn’t have choice and I got the job. Now my client wants to offer me a full time position. I kind of feel like they trust me with the work I’m doing and also considering my past experiences to offer me a full time and moreover it’s only been 3 months.

I know it’s a little unusual but what do you guys think/suggest me to do in this situation?!

Can you still get promoted on time if you don't meet the utilization metric during promotion year?

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.

Would love to get your input on this but how do you guys feel about consulting, especially with a STEM background? I have worked on studies where we make recommendations that anybody with a basic scientific/engineering knowledge will say “yea, no f-ing sh*t. We want to do that too. But it’s impossible to achieve from technical perspective with the money we have. You don’t think we already thought of that?”
