I’m interested in transferring in from audit after this busy season. What was the interview process like: questions, case studies, etc? I’m looking to make the switch with PwC, but should I apply...

I made the switch during the mid-end of my A2 year. Your goal is to get an interview, so emphasis on networking OP, can’t stress this enough.

Since it will be Deals, safe to expect a case study. I would focus on that most relative to specific group under deals you’re interviewing for. I was fdd so my experience is more on that side.

Lots of talk about CohnReznick on here lately… let’s address a few points.

1) Yes, our salaries are in line with B4. Happy to discuss specifics with the skeptics.
2) We are one of the few firms still actively hiring people without FDD experience.
3) Our WLB is miles better than B4.
4) Yes, we are paying strong referral bonuses because our practice has literally doubled in the past year.
5) All of the above is due to a strong pipeline and significant growth within the practice.
