Don’t hesitate to ask questions if things don’t make sense. After a deal do a detailed read of the full report to make sure you understand all our conclusions even on areas you didn’t touch. Schedule time with your team leaders to talk through conclusions that you don’t understand.

If you’re asked to complete an analysis that is complex - always ask if there is a template or example from another deal - don’t waste time trying to reinvent the wheel.

All the great analysis is for nothing if you don’t understand how it feeds into the purchase agreement. If I could do it differently it would be to get grounding in the purchase agreement early on. The way things go, you typically won’t get trusted with that exposure until you’re an experienced manager, and even then it’s really on the directors and partner.

I got an email about a PwC virtual interview on Tuesday and initially it said to look out for a scheduling email and schedule by Wednesday afternoon. I then got a follow up saying that the email would actually be coming later this week.

It’s Friday almost at the end of the work day and I haven’t gotten the scheduling email. Has this happened for anyone else? I reached out to the coordinators, but I wasn’t sure if this was a widespread issue and want to make sure I haven’t missed anything.

Hey everyone. I found out we are expecting our first child and I’m really nervous. I got into consulting one year ago and I’m up for promotion this year. With timing of our performance conversations I would have to inform I’m pregnant before outcomes - then shortly after the promotion effective date I would go on a leave for due date. I’ve worked really hard and I’m worried our wonderful news will throw chances with this :(- also if I don’t get promoted pretty sure it’s up or out. Any advice?
