Hi Sharks,
My technical interview with PwC went good and the very next day i got confirmation that I cleared the round and next round will be scheduled. But its been 3 weeks no communication i left my hope. And suddenly i got a call from HR and she asked for CCTC, ECTC, LWD all and said client round will be there. Now again its been an week.
Is it normal process or it’s getting delayed for me?
Should i move on?

Easiest exam? ACCA, CPA or CA?
I was in the same position you were in my last year of school. Finished my internship at PwC and wanted to go into advisory. Your first step should be reach out to your recruiter and see if they can help. I did this and was told I couldn’t do that and would have to wait to join the firm and work a couple year in order to consider a transfer. Not saying that to discourage you, just to say it’s a possibility it might happen to you. If the recruiter says no, I would suggest applying to other big4 while you are in school (if you’re out of school this is going to be more complicated). Start networking and try to get interviews for a full time job in consulting. Don’t spend any time in audit if you don’t have to.
While I still think you should try, just realize that ain’t the same as going into advisory. The chances of you getting the job out of a non target are very slim. Even going to audit first that doesn’t improve your chances.
Just want to echo some of the advice. It’s going to be incredibly hard to break into the actual consulting arms for PwC (Strategy&) Deloitte (Monitor) and EY-P (Parthenon). The reason is that these parts of the firms are entirely separate and from what I’ve heard they basically have their own HR team and structure that doesn’t really communicate with the rest of the firm. Not sure if Kpmg is this way but anecdotally, it seems like kpmg is more willing to move around high performers. Your best bet at any firm is probably going into Deals/TAS and then trying to networking to break into the consulting side.
Thanks for the advice! I’ll try to see if I can get into consulting directly but FDD would be solid too and more aligned with what I want to do compared to audit. Overall I’d like to be in a position where I can be more creative than compliant.
Reach out to your recruiter and tell them your interested in consulting. Prepare yourself for the fact that they may not switch you but you’re more likely to get help than just applying.
They aren’t wrong. But to your point, given you’re entry level and hadn’t started you have a better chance than you do 6 months in. Could always apply to other big 4 as a backup option
They’re gonna try and put you in risk advisory. Note, this is not the same as S&.
Not trying to get into advisory. Although I’ve heard it’s still better than audit but I’d rather go into a consulting role from the get-go.
