How did you prepare for the interview? Can you give me any tips or can I msg on your socials?
I’ve completed the work based scenarios and waiting to hear back. How long did it take for them to reply to you??

I did the parnter interview last year, and didn't get any preperation time. And the question were a mix of strength and situational. For most I just had to compromise. At the end they told me that some of your answers were too short . So don't know how to prepare for the interviews anymore tbh.

I have that on wednesday along with the rest of the AC. so at the end they simply denied you on the spot for your answers being too short?
Also, the career convo is an automated video interview, so you get preparation time for that

I was talking about the Parnter interview. For that you don't get prep time. I was asked a series of question ranging from strength to situational and they try to tip you off. I remember 2 situational question being asked that required actual knowledge of working in audit for it to be answered. Yes, at the end, after the interview they called me on my mobile phone to tell me that I was rejected.

That's why I was wondering, how some of you guys prepare for it?

I applied for MCR last year.

I see yeah, well this year they are combining the partner interview with the AC but apparently this time it's only motivational questions.

How did you prepare for the motivational question? What is the format that you follow? Do you link any example to back up your claim?

Oh no! Hoping for the best for you! I’m really nervous. Were there any parts you found particularly hard?

Having to keep to a really tight schedule is really intense, the tasks are timetabled throughout the day, and it's really hard trust me.
