Recently I just interviewed for a big4 audit internship role. Cleared the techinal and hr round and got the call for partner round which pretty much went like this.
So I had this partner interview last week friday.. and it lasted to a max of 4 mins... the senior partner asked about my family background and my sisters profession and then about how I will manage my internship and my current final semester and that's
It she said, that's it from her side and asked any questions and I said yeah and asked about the role.. and the interview was over...so the points to be noted are the joining dates of the company is either February first week or jan last week and its already 27th.... are there any chances I may convert this?
Also will deloitte inform if I don't make it or should I wait or send a followup?

Hi there,

 

Although strange, I read this as positive. The Partner wouldn’t show up or would cancel the interview if it was a no. The only reason I can think that they actually turned up is that it would be poor form if they didn’t and they hired you.

 

I would reach out to the HR team and ask what the next steps are. I’d imagine your application is ‘stuck’ somewhere in the process and HR are oblivous to this. Giving them a friendly nudge will alert them to it and hopefullyu speed things along.

 

Good luck!

Hi there,

1) Are there any chances I may convert this?

This interview format was a bit unusual. Although you might have fit-only interviews, usually they last more than a few minutes. I would consider the interaction you had as positive though, so, although there are no guarantees, this could result in an offer.

2) Also will Deloitte inform if I don't make it or should I wait or send a followup?

Usually they let you know. If you don’t hear from them within one week from the interview date, you can send a follow-up to HR.

Good luck!

Hi there,

It sounds possible!

Basically, that was a “final” screening call. The previous interviews had resulted in a recommendation to hire you.

The Partner (who “owns” the firm) wanted to speak to you before hiring you. As long as they got a good impression then you should be fine.

Basically, it sounds like they made a quick decision in one direction or another!

Fingers crossed for you and keep us posted!

^All the “most likely” scenario

Hi there,

My hypothesis: this is a final screening interview just to check everything is fine. These usually happen when you nailed the previous interviews.

But this is only a hypothesis. Just wait and see what happens :)

Best,

Alberto

Hey,

To me it seems like they are willing to hire you.
I myself started at Deloitte in the audit role and for me the interview went pretty much the same way.

Since it's not been a long time since your interview I'd wait for a few more days. If they don't get back to you till the end of the week, I suggest you contact them in order to remind about yourself.

Good luck!

Particularly at Big4, partners tend to only use the last interview as a “veto” round and as making sure that every new employee/candidate get's the chance to meet a partner. This is particularly true for internships.

This means that the decision was almost done and the partner just went to confirm everything was ok.

I worked for a big 4 and to be honest I think during one year of recruiting with a specific partner I had >95% match between my opinion and the partner's opinion.

You should hear back from them soon. No need to reach out unless ~2 weeks have passed by since the interview.

Overall, it sounds like it went well. 

Hope you get good news,

Cristian
