Hi there,

Congratulations on passing the first round. I'm not familiar with the Deloitte interview process, but I would suggest preparing for basic problem-solving:

1. Structuring the problem.
2. Understanding and being able to comment on data presented in charts.
3. Being able to solve basic quantitative equations.

Good luck!

Best regards, 

Natalia

Hi there,

Q: They've invited me to the second round, which is technical. Can someone provide insight into what they might ask and offer tips on how to prepare?

Is the interview a case interview? In case it is not clear, I would recommend clarifying it with HR.

Assuming it is a case interview, I would recommend the following:

1. Define a calendar for your preparation. Identify how many hours you have before your interview and allocate a time slot for preparation in your calendar for each day, working on the points below. Many candidates need 100+ hours to be ready before the interview starting from zero so you can keep that as a benchmark.
2. Start reading good MBA Consulting Handbooks – you can find several for free online (INSEAD is a good one to start). Read the cases and try to apply your structure to solve them. Whenever you see there is something missing, upgrade your structure with the new insights. Try to read a new case per day – in this way you will absorb better the information with constant learning.
3. After the first 5-10 cases in books/handbooks and basic theory, start to practice live. PrepLounge can be helpful to connect with other candidates for that. There is a relevant part of the interview score that is based on your communication, which you cannot practice at all if you read cases only.
4. Keep track of your mistakes and see which ones you are repeating. If so, try to identify the source of the mistake (feedback from experienced partners would be particularly useful for this). Be sure to focus on both the behavioral part and the case part during the mocks. The case part should also cover market sizing, math and graph analysis.
5. Before the interviews, be sure to prepare your questions for the interviewer  – a great way to show you prepared in advance and to connect with the interviewer for a good final impression. Ideally, try to get information on who they are and study their profile to have good questions to ask.

Good luck!

It depends on what role you're applying for. 

During technical rounds, they basically go deep into your actual knowledge of that specific topic or industry (once again, it depends on the role you're being interviewed for). 

If I were you, I'd reach out ASAP to HR to ask for additional info on the format of the interview and, for example, questions that could be asked during the technical round. 

The more you know upfront, the better prepared you can be. 

Best,
Cristian

Hey,

Depends on the department you are interviewing with: it can be technical accounting, taxation or IT knowledge.

I'd check with an HR and the other applicants regarding the exact format of this interview.

Good luck!
