FTI Consulting 2022 Grad Schemes

Hi, has anyone here applied for any of the FTI consulting grad schemes? I thought I would make one as I couldn't find any other thread for this intake.

How were the online assessments? Were they similar to other consulting firms or harder? Are there any worthwhile practice materials for FTI's tests?

I think its with eSkill. Never done those type of tests before. Would love to know what they're like! quantitative? qualitative?

Have people generally found them easier/harder than Big-4?

I did mine the other day. I think the difficulty of testing is dependent on what division you applied for but I honestly found mine really hard.. harder than big 4. It was a verbal reasoning test only gives you 26mins with 26 questions and then numerical was 30 mins with 25 questions (don't quote me on exact number roughly that) but I definitely remembering thinking that each question needed around 1 minute to complete. So good luck if you've got them coming up!

Oh nice. Good luck, I hope it went well. I have until Tuesday to complete mine and as you said, it is ~ 50 total questions in ~ 60 minutes. I had no idea there was a quantitative/qualitative split, so thanks for the insight!

Regarding the qualitative section, did you find it comprehension-heavy?

I better go practice.
Has anyone heard from clean energy grad scheme?

Hi,

Has anyone done the case study task or written test? I have both this week but not sure what to expect. Nervous for the case study task as I don't have a business/consulting background.

Hi,

I would suggest to go over some case interview frameworks. You can find them online or do the free craftingcases course. Once you have a few basic frameworks down, should be fine

Thanks so much for your recommendations! I'll have a look into the course and brush up on some frameworks

Hello, I have the AC but they have changed it to virtual AC and I have not received any details yet.
Do you know what type of questions may be asked, how technical would it be?
PM me and we can discuss if you want.
Thanks!
Hello All,
I have spoken to a person who has had an AC for a consulting role recently and they mentioned that the AC was for the whole day, involved a group exercise (case), a case study (brain teaser type) and more financial exercise followed by an interview on it.
Hope this helps!

PM functionality does not seem to work for me (I can't reply), so if interested you can send me another way to contact you (e.g. LinkedIn/WhatsApp).

Hi has anyone applied to the tax advisory grad role. I had my first stage interview early last week. Was wondering how long it typically took for them to email you the outcome on whether or not you would be going into the final stage
