You can try TollFreeForwarding.com. THis is free for 10 days and they start charging after that. The service is really good. I had taken this when i was in India. You can explore the rate plans. they are good. I had taken a monthly subscription for 19USD.

Technical questions are primarily based on skillsets that you have specified on your CV . It also depends what role you are applying for, in case you are applying for automation specialists then questions will be around the automation tools like QTP, Junit, Selenium etc etc again depending on what tools you have specified in your CV.

In my case I had to give presentation on QTP keyword driven framework and there were questions around Ajax, web technologies and Quality center which i have used for defect management. Additionaly there were questions around test planning, risk mitigation , team management, use case creation....The key is to be well aware of what you write on your CV and be confident...Good luck!!

Though all your posts have been commendable so far, in this instance my dear friend, it is incorrect. Glass door is merely a portal to vent out frustrations by those employees who just could not take it in a challenging industry and hence had to leave.
Moreover, a lot of the comments are posted by those who have either joined at the lowest level or those who have spent a lot of time, achieved nothing, got nowhere and then, finally, bitched their hearts outs on Glass Door

To make money - you work hard.
Work exactly 37.5 hrs per week and get paid market rates but you have an easy relaxed life.
Work about 40-60 hrs per week, slog your brains out and reap rewards - make money and grow as much as you can

The world of Consulting is only for those who are ready to slog it out to earn their buck - its only those who are born into rich families with connections who can get TOP degrees and TOP jobs and get the CASH without really WORKING hard

The real truth is this - for an average or normal employee, Consulting companies pave the way to make your own future. You play the game and you get the reward. If you laze around, do only what's required, then best to stay out of Consulting and get a job in the Public Sector or a standard company and earn standard salaries.

In the end, well earned money comes to those who slog it out and there is no industry better than Consulting to see how good you are and see what you are truly worth

All this comes from over 8 years in a role that has been pseudo Consulting and pseudo shite!!!

EDIT - If you want, I can point you to genuine forums where practical advice - both good and bad - are given by those working in the Big4 Companies. These are real sources of truth and not sites like Glassdoor

Please can you point me to this site where I can get more information because am a newbie and am interested in consultancy. Thanks any assitance or help will be highly appreciated

I would suggest to hang on as long as you can and keep trying which i am sure you will anyways do..."any" kind of job might get you confused and open up the pandora's box where there will a plethora of options from a supermarket job to anything that one can think of...IMO , first try and narrow the areas that you are willing to work in until you find the banking job that you are looking for...all the best for your hunt!!...I am sure things will start looking up soon

as Aspirant99 has so rightly said - you need to hang in there
A lot of effort and you will succeed as the market is slowly but surely picking up finally after a couple of years....leaving final packages aside there are some opportunities around so I'd suggest trying to get into contracting if nothing else works for you....but if both partners are working then lower your bar and suggest taking roles in the higher 20s or mid 30s to just get some money in the bank and then jump later on....

It's a struggle but dont give up and you will make it

All the best
