Hey there,
Just to clarify, are you asking about what type of questions are asked in interviews for technical consulting roles? If so, it depends directly on what the role is and what skills and technical expertise are required for it. For example, data science roles would ask about coding ability, software language use, process and approaches to specific problems etc. You could expect to go into detail about your technical experience and knowledge, and blend both your theoretical knowledge and practical experience.
If you could tell me what the technical role is, i could be more specific with questions you could get for that
Congrats on getting an interview for a technical role! I saw your comments to Thabang's answer that it is a delivery consulting role.
From my personal experience, technical interviews are very similar to those industry-type interviews conducted by companies that specializes in this domain. I would recommend to reach out to the recruiter to see if they can share how the format of the interview looks like to better prepare. But otherwise, just preparing as if this is a technical interview with a non-consulting company would probably be ok.
Another approach that can be helpful is to reach out to people who are currently in this role, such as through LinkedIn or your network. They typically has gone through the process and have better intel.
