Dear Anamika

No certain answer can be given to this question.

It depends upon person to person but the thing which I can tell you is that be prepared for the worst, if you face it its well and good but if you dont face it, its a good luck. But before entering Big4 just make sure that you have some knowldge abt that firm and area which you want to work.

Regards

Hey Anamika .. I guess u need to get urself clear .. each and every round in Big 4 has equal importance .. Infact the HR round is the easiest and almost everyone cracks it , but the partner tests you technically and thats very important cuz ur knowledge , patience and confidence is tested .

I gave my interview in KPMG 2 months back .. First was with HR .. asked me basic questions like partner asked u and then manager asked me all kind of technical questions .. they said me to wait because they want to evaluate other candidates .. so am still waiting for the reply ...

Nopes there is no problem just they some times get technical and they evaluate us on every aspect. So I said be prepared for worst. They need to see some qualities so be prepared for it.

When they say a couple of days it never ever means they ll call u in 2 days ... for big 4 and all MNCs u ll have to keep in touch with them regularly and ask bout the updates ... they need to see how much an article student is desperate to enter in ...
