Considering applying to a Director, Sanctions and Financial Crimes position at PWC. Grateful for any insights on the usual: culture, work-life balance, overview of the team/practice, pay scales/expectations, interview tips. My background is 9 years with smaller boutique consulting firms in NYC focusing on a variety of Sanctions and AML advisory engagements. Thanks!

You can apply and go trough the process if selected for interview. The specific group at pwc is a fast pace and very demanding from business development and sales perspective. As a director you are going to have strict sales and utilization targets. Work-life is far from great. Having said that , you will learn a lot and likely have a team of hungry motived people , but be prepared to work really hard in a very competitive environment.

Pay 200ish + 10-30% bonus

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people.

I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
