Hi all, I am currently at a boutique consulting firm, looking to leave, and have my first interview with PwC next week. It is a 30 minute on the spot case. I have never completed a case before. I asked a few friends at big4’s what to expect and also asked for assistance from my recruiter, but would be so appreciative of any guidance on what to expect and how to best prepare. Thanks in advance!

What's the position for?

Hey, I’m a TC @ PwC. The case study really is just going to access how you come up with solutions and how you back them up with facts. There’s no “right or wrong” answer. Ask lots of questions and make your best guess with the info you’re given. Good luck!

Currently scheduling “on sites” for a S&O role in CA. My referrer said they can hire as L5 or L6. Would like to land in the L6 bucket as I’ve heard 5 --> 6 is one of the more challenging promotions.

I’m looking for info on what the real difference is in responsibilities (manager vs IC, cross functional vs focused, etc) so I can focus on checking the L6 boxes during my interviews.

I’m also curious about whether this is something that I should just discuss with my recruiter directly?
