Hi. I'm a final year btech student, and I recently got an offer from PwC India for the post of Sr. Analyst, with the package of 4.5lpa fixed + some yearly performance bonus. How should I expect me to be my career graph in pwc? Promotions, work culture, work life balance, basically any kind of insight will be appreciated.
THANKS A TON, IN ADVANCE.

Focus all your time and energy on networking. I know some will disagree and say that cold applying still works, but for me, it didn’t. All interviews and offers came from referrals and/or directly reaching out to hiring managers.

I’ve been applying on and off for 3 months and have heard back for 4-5 roles. It’s not great out there but you will hear back. Some jobs reached out for the initial phone screen 2 months after I applied.
Just do the usual stuff: ATS friendly resume format, cater your resume for each role unless the roles are pretty similar, use your connections as referrals, etc etc.
You need to be very intentional about the positions you’re applying to. You really should not be applying to more than 1-2 positions per day.
It’s tough
Yes it’s definitely not just you. I need to hit the networking much harder
Yep can't find anything no responses through online job applications.Reaching out to people in my network even that is difficult.
Yes I wish somebody would call me back. I have been out of work for 3 months now I applied to 203 positions only 6 contacted me. This is getting sickening
That’s a 3% response rate and it’s not bad. It’s not great but it’s not bad. This does assume that you’re applying to posted roles and aren’t using your network etc.
Toggle your open to work off and on on LinkedIn. Might have just been luck but had three recruiters hit me within days after doing that. Landed a role quickly
I have effectively not heard anything back in three years. I'll get the occasional 'lets schedule a screening' but then get completely ghosted after the screening.
It’s not just you. A lot of places have posted phantom jobs etc. it’s not a great time to be looking.
That said everyone from companies to candidates are playing it safe so the market is thin to put it mildly. I don’t know when it will change.
