Hi - any ideas how to best ace through a director level interview at Deloitte with their director round wherein am expecting to have two panelists - director himself and manager also attending?

What strategy should be adopted to best handle and come out with flying colors from twin interviewers ?

Wow, congrats on getting to the final round! 

Here are a few points to have in mind for it (i.e., how is it different from previous / first round):

  1. Work on the feedback provided in the previous rounds. Most firms communicate the feedback from the previous rounds to the final interviewer. It's important then to show the final interviewer that you have a growth mindset and are reactive to feedback. This matters immensely. Make sure you are clear on your development areas and that you get the right support to polish them before the final interview.
  2. Expect less structure. Senior interviewers already have the confidence that you are a decent candidate, your skills having been already vetted by their younger colleagues. They are rather more interested in your as a person and your way of thinking. So they might present you with an unusual case, or one that is created on the spot or no case altogether. Expect anything.
  3. Focus on excellent communication. Senior interviewers care a lot about how clearly you communicate and how you manage to forge a connection with the interviewer. It's important to be top-down and concise as much as possible with your answers, while allowing the conversation to flow in a natural way.
  4. Put yourself in their shoes. The one question senior interviewers are asking themselves throughout the interview is what will happen when they'll put you in front of a client they've groomed for years? Make sure that even based on this first impression you seem somebody who can be trusted and who can work with any client regardless of how difficult they might be.

Best,
Cristian

Hi,

At BCG, senior hires (even partners sometimes) were all expected to have strong problem solving skills. Thus they were still cased, although perhaps not in the same formal/structured way than junior rounds.

In addition, you should be expected to be tested/probed on other non-problem solving abilities relevant for your role. Typically this would be commercial agenda, project management etc.

All the best!

Yes! Coaching!

The best way to ace a director interview is through coaching. Hands down.

Here's some reading below to help you do well. Just remember that at the director level they are making sure you know your stuff AND can communicate clearly/effectively AND are flexible/adaptable.

There is likely to be much more “brainstorming”, follow-up questions, deep-dive questioning, etc.
