For KPMG, it was pretty easy for audit associate interview, just typical behavior questions and ask you about your resume/background.

PwC has been diving more in technology and “tech-enabling” the audit. I would research more into that and probably ask about the direction of where audits are going.

Don’t do them.

I think the general trend of the big 4 audit is incorporating more offshore resources (service delivery centers in countries like India) to perform work. You can also pose a question as to how that will impact your role coming on as an audit professional as that’s was definitely a concern of PwC when I was there

Thank you!

You want to emphasize your talent and skills and why you would be a valuable team member (especially during busy season) but also show your personality a little. I had managers tell me they don’t want to hire someone with no personality
