I have an initial screen interview for PwC Deals (CMAAS) next week, moving from Europe to West Coast of the US. What should I prepare? Are there behavioural type questions in this first interview? Thank you for your help.

Senior level? It’s just walking through resume/explaining interest in CMAAS. Experience with research tools, IFRS etc. Lastly, questions you have for them. I recently went through the process and got an offer feel free to DM me.

Went through the same interview for Senior associate CMAAS and got the offer. I echo this. Please come with a list of questions related to the industry, know the difference between CM and AAS, and speak to your resume. Also emphasize any tools you’ve used in your previous job to help streamline work. It will be fine and a true conversation.

I had my initial phone screen for PwC CMAAS (manager) late last week and 1st official interview with a CMAAS Director late next week. I’m an external candidate so unsure if yours will be different (since it seems you’ll be an internal transfer). But my phone screen was just with someone from PwC’s experienced-hire recruiting team. Only 30 min.

Basically just talked through my resume…I’ve been with KPMG audit since college…(primarily focused on the different types of audit clients & industries I’ve worked with, public vs private, and I highlighted some of the unique technical accounting issues I’ve worked on.

They weren’t asking any specific behavioral/technical questions. That stuff will be covered in the formal interviews. Phone screen was really just to gauge what my background was and if l was generally the type of candidate they’re looking for.

I can try to report back after first round of formal interviews. Good luck with yours! Maybe we will be coworkers soon.

So funny story…they actually paused mine after the phone screen and said they were holding off on interviewing external candidates for the Manager role until they had completed internal transfer interviews and knew what the numbers would look like after the internals had accepted/declined offers.

I followed up with the recruiter last week bc I had an offer on the table that was going to expire. She said they were still working through internal transfers & hoped to have an update by end of this week.
Luckily I got a generous extension on my other offer, so I’ve still got some time, but can’t wait forever.

Looks like @EY1 got interviews for the senior role, so maybe it’s just the manager role they’re holding off on..? I’m going to follow up with the recruiter late Wednesday/early Thursday.

Curious if any other external candidates have heard differently for the manager level.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me).

My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.

First trimester insomnia?
I’m only about 5 weeks, but my sleep schedule has gone off the rail the last three nights. I’m sleepy/drowsy, settled in bed around the same time every night, and yet I cannot fall or stay asleep. I have a white noise machine, comfy bed, cool room.. etc. When I do fall asleep, it’s earlier in the morning and I sleep until 1/1:30pm. This was fine the first few nights since it was the weekend, but it can’t keep up. Anyone else experience this and have any recommendations?
