Questions were pretty standard. Along the lines of Why this role and why S&W. Then 2 behavioural qs. Mine were tell me about a time you had to explain something complex, and tell me about a time you had to adapt (i think it was but cant remember). Honestly pretty standard and you can redo them like 3 times so no pressure. I have transferred my application to the Audit role so I wont have to do the online tests or vi again.

I did mine today and totally different questions - no competencies at all. This is weird, are they using different questions for each service line or job?

Could be, what did you apply for? The VI email that I got said there would be competency questions

I would say they were mostly motivational questions - audit, placement

audit placement, mine did too and it was specific ab the motivational questions in the email too and what they would be based on along with competencies but nothing like that at all, it's not even your typical motivational questions tbh
