It’s all the same is the authentic answer 😊

Nothing like an authentic “why PwC” answer from another person 🤣 Are they potentially offering you more money? If so, that’s why.

What I would do if I were you is to speak to the value the PwC professional framework holds. Make it seem like you care about the dimensions of the framework in terms of your personal growth and like that pwc focuses on that. Now, I’m not saying that’s what makes us unique or that it’s worth a damn. I’m just telling you what to say if you want the interview to go well

Just look up our current initiatives and say something about them (e.g be well work well).

Can’t speak to it since I only interned at Deloitte, but we have some recent hires in our practice from Deloitte and they all seem to be enjoying it. Don’t know too many people in our practice going the other direction

Make it specific to the practice you are joining and talk about standing in the market, whether they are more competitive / advanced tools / methods, working with specific leadership and talent in that team

Just talk about how building relationships is the most important part of consulting and you’ll be golden

Talent deployment definitely can be tough if you aren’t already networked in. Have never needed to submit a physical time sheet though or even heard of it happening, and I’ve been here three years

like

PwC definitely doesn't require a signature on time sheets. I've been here 9 years. I think it comes down to the people on your team and the leadership. Otherwise it's all very fluid. Good days and bad, good clients and bad ... same as everywhere

like

PwC1: They will offer more money (hopefully) and that is the only reason to switch but I cannot say that in interview!

We can wear jeans in the office when not at client site.

I actually just declined an offer from PwC that was 35% more than my current salary ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

D1 I did the same. A colleague had left D for PwC and hated it and gave me her honest opinion. They were not as organized/mature, not as good with deploying talent from her perspective. Also she had to get a physical signature on her time sheet instead of it being electronic 😩😩😩
Hopefully they’ve updated this aspect ... but this was only maybe 3-4 years ago

D1: Did you use that offer to negotiate your base at D?

SA1: That is true to Deloitte and KPMG too

Idk why it was but she was running a proj working at client site and had to get her time sheet approved by some leader in the McLean office. So she had to go there. Maybe it was a weird client requirement?

I didn’t use it bc I was about to get promoted to M and PwC was going to bring me in as SC so I didn’t want to start over. I won’t say I regret it, but it took me a while to get to that salary!

I’ve heard that you shouldn’t use it as a bargaining chip bc it could sour your relationships but it’s worth a try! There’s a lot of salary related stuff that people don’t discuss to keep their employer or potential employer comfortable which ultimately ends up hurting us, the employees!
