Any tips for an upcoming interview for an international tax associate role at PwC (JD/LLM)? What kind of questions do they ask and what can I expect?

Definitely personality / behavioral. I left PwC as a manager and was doing associate interviews. Don’t be arrogant, that was the biggest turn off of lawyers. Know that you don’t know anything but you are willing to learn. I had someone say he couldn’t wait to be in meetings with CEOs and kept calling PwC a company. The partner and I hard passed.

Thank you for the insight.

You can DM me if you can. I was offered a job within a few days of the first interview with a senior manager, director and partner). I did a high level research of PwC and studied interview questions from a website that offers Big 4 interview prep questions for like $30.

For an associate position, it’s going to be strictly personality/behavioral fit.
