Depends where you interview. I interviewed at big4 with no technical questions and I also interviewed at midsize with a bunch of technical questions :-/

I am staff, but did not have any technical. Sr mgr told me that when they interview they look more to see if youre someone that they would want to work with daily, with assumption you must have been good enough to pass initial screenings. Good luck!

I'm interviewing with your firm actually. Phone interview with a partner. How likely the partner ask me about technical stuff? And What technical questions mid tier asked you?

Completely depends on the interviewer. I work with 2 directors on the sane team. One asks technical questions and they people he hires are usually failures. One doesn’t ask any technical questions and just spends the time chatting and getting to know the candidate and the people he hires are usually really great

At the senior level, I wouldn’t ask technical questions. I’d ask more about the types of work the person had been doing and spend some time trying to gage personality fit.

How does one find direction in what they want to do in life? I don’t find my job as a tax manager fulfilling and my busy time conflicts with some of my favorite hobbies, skiing and snowmobiling. I find it hard to determine my next step because I’m all about relationships, love my clients and am a sales/big picture thinker, so naturally industry doesn’t interest me. I’ve been super lost for a few years and think I need to act on my unhappiness and get out while I’m young. Any advice?

It seems like everyone is in agreement that switching firms gives you a salary boost, but that you could be viewed as someone that doesn’t stick around. Has anyone felt like they got held back from jumping firms every 2-3 years for the salary bump? I know peers that bounced around 2-4 times in a 7 year span and they are making significantly more money than if they stayed at their first job, however it didn’t seem like any of the new companies cared that they bounced around. Other experiences?
