Interview at Ayming
- Open with one real engagement that matches Consultant - R&D Tax. Name UK R&D tax relief (merged scheme), who you interviewed, and one thing you excluded from the claim. Scope the story to Consultant work, not a generic busy season.
- Walk a duty they listed: Support R&D tax consulting engagements for UK clients across diverse industries. Use a real client industry. Do not invent a hypothetical.
- If you lack STEM degree (BSc, MSc, or PhD) required, say so and show the closest proof. Do not rename a different credential.
- Confirm London, England (hybrid) and hybrid out loud. Do not promise remote if the posting says hybrid or on site.
- Close on how you review someone else's draft. Delivery quality is the job at Ayming.
