Currently looking at at FDD position within PwC (East Region). Had an interview with a recruiter, which went well and want to move forward. I’m currently a senior in audit with EY. Was wondering if anyone in here has bee though the interview process and was wondering what I should expect? I also was curious as to how hard the QoE model is going to be. Does anyone have any insight on this?

Have my QoE model case study on Monday - would love some insight.

Interview is Case with SM (info released 24H ahead of interview), then second round with partner, then final round with partner

This isn’t a financial model

Did a case study for a senior role and the gist of it was that you’re given high level financial statements and 10 facts/observations to build out a small EBITDA and NWC table. You have to evaluate each of the facts/observations and determine whether they will warrant an EBITDA or NWC adjustment and explain why. There’s some other basic analyses they might ask you to do like GM, segment profitability, etc. It was the most casual “case” I’ve ever done but that likely heavily depends on who your interviewer is.

They sent over everything a day or two beforehand. You spend most of the interview walking through your answers with the interviewer and they’ll ask you follow up questions based on what you say. You’ll probably have 5 or so minutes at the end to ask them questions you might have.

Discussed at length in interview. Be prepared for push back by the interviewer on the adjustments you’re recommending

Yes exactly
