Mine were interviewer led. I got the offer by following the standard case in point framework. Nothing too tricky and math was very basic. Only twist to regular casing was that they were very transaction focused. I would understand deal rationales as well as the structure of a PMO / IMO.

A1 why are you looking to leave ACN? Have heard it’s a solid M&A shop with better WLB

We don’t do cases for experience hires, only on campus. The oncampus ones are unique in the sense there isn’t a right answer and it’s all about how your answer the questions and explain your thinking. So my qualitative than quantitive.

Hello, i have just received an interview invite at PWC for Finance DDV manager , Can you please shed some light on the interview process, # of rounds and things i should be focussing on. Extremely important for me to crack this. Thank you so much

To me - I found EYP really focused on fit. In addition, both firms test you on deal experience. I did get a mini-case at DDV that was a hypothetical deal scenario.

hi all, currently have two offers:

1: EY - FDD, home city, very good $$ for FDD

2: PwC - post-merger integration, DDV team (essentially M&A Consulting) - bigger city, always been keen to move

Coming as a Senior in Audit, with recent FDD exposure (2 deals, obviously not much). I was looking for something more than just number crunching, wanting a mix of quant / quali / strategic work. M&A Advisory or a Corp Strategy role is where I'm looking to end up long term.

Thanks in advance!
