I applied for FDD PwC experienced associate and just heard back from recruiter today to set up a quick call in the next couple of days. However I’m traveling and have limited access to wifi (stay around national parks). Is it okay to schedule a call next Monday or should I try to have a call within this week? Just not sure if that would be too long. Also if anyone has any tips/advice on how to best prepare for the interview, I’d very much appreciate!

How many YoE do you have?

I’m currently at my second year in audit!

Yeah this first call is like 15 mins and just an intro saying they’ll interview you based on partner availability. I’d try to have it sooner rather than later bc sometimes there’s some lag finding time when all partners are available to interview at same time. At the same time, this call is not a big deal - it would be ok to push if you’re not in a big rush.

Thanks for the info that’s helpful! Yeah I figured it’s be a quick intro call with the recruiter so hopefully it’ll be okay to push back a little bit since I have limited connection in the next few days.

How long did it take you to hear back?

I applied online around 2-3 weeks ago and just heard back today

push it - need to hire a lot of people right now. Demand on our end is there for flexibility.

Thank you that’s good to know!!

Let me know if you want a referral to EY

Thanks EY1. I have a few years of FDD experience so probably would qualify. I’ll send you a PM if the other person I reached out to already doesn’t get back to me.

The hostility on my team is rough. We have a yeller. I walked by her room the other day. She was screaming across the room at a student, "you have to be kind to get kindness." Seriously, those were her words in a loud, berating, angry tone. Our admin has asked that we not report these. We are to talk to the teacher. She has yelled at me and other adults. Admin has to know she treats the kids this way too. One teacher has to work with her door closed to not hear the yelling all day.
