When going to interviews, I always struggle to ask questions. All of the questions I can think of feel super generic. Any advice/examples of questions that you've used that have been well received?

It's best to refer to recent news about the company. E.g given the recent worries about Deutsche Bank, is the current strategy still valid or do you think the bank need's to focus more on it's strengths (like how UBS has wonderfully done after the financial crisis)? Mention the better than expected recent earnings that could potentially still validate the current strategy.

You should be interviewing them as well. Ask questions about around company culture, strategic makeup of the team you're interviewing for, and how long and why they stay with the company.

I left Audit at a midsize firm to join KPMG erp implementation consulting about 6 months ago. So far they seem to only want to staff me on projects with a heavy focus on technical accounting and audit. Spoke to a lot of others who have left and seems like being pigeonholed or staffed on projects not related to the actual core work of the practice is the common reason. I've been on the fence about whether I should stay and hope to be staffed on better projects in the future or leave soon...
