I’m having an interview with FDD PwC next week and was told besides the case interview, there would be 2 others on relationships and business acumen. Any insights on what particularly these two interviews entail, especially the business acumen one? It seems like the typical behavioral interviews but wanted to make sure if there’s something to be aware of or how to best prepare for them. Thanks!

Yeah no they are just interviews. Like personal questions, why pwc, why fdd, why consulting, etc. be ready to talk about market and opportunities.

Which city/office is this for?

For me those ended up being behavioral with a director and then some Q&A with the partner

If you’re at a higher level, I could see that being a general discussion about understanding of industry, how you expect your teams to deliver, and what existing relationships you’d want to target for work

Caveat: I have no credibility on this

It is funny. I reached out to my RL for FDD opportunities and there are zero to none. Now I see in this app that PwC seems to be giving FDD positions for free.

I considered going the internal transfer route using external offer as leverage but in the end PwC was not competitive with the comp offer. So don't do it unless you're prepared to actually leave.
