Application Tips
- ✓
Deloitte recruits heavily on campus. Attend their info sessions and case competition events at your university — many offers originate from these interactions.
- ✓
Applications open in August for the following summer. For consulting, apply before October; for audit and tax, the deadline is typically December.
- ✓
For consulting roles, practice case interviews. Deloitte uses a mix of interviewer-led and candidate-led cases — Victor Cheng's framework works well.
- ✓
For audit and tax roles, demonstrate knowledge of accounting standards (GAAP/IFRS) and show you're working toward CPA eligibility.
- ✓
Deloitte's behavioral interviews focus on teamwork and leadership. Use the STAR method and prepare 5–6 stories that demonstrate client-facing skills.
