Interview question prep!

Context:
Have interview with pwc for a
similar role what I am working right
now, a little senior level but great
compensation compared to my
current.

Question:
Why do you want to come to pwc
when you are already in consulting at
another Big4 firm?

Note:
I know many folks here would have
gone through such prep while
switching, just wanted to gather
thoughts to answer this and crack the
interview.

TIA

Maybe tell them you heard PwC has an easier system to log timesheets LOL

Haha well that's a good solid reason but not worth the answer in interview 🤣

Does pay come out to be reflecting myself as greedy and they think I would do the same switch from them and not hire me?

Overthinking but pretty desperate to switch lol

Well, you said it’s a bit of a promotion, so you can use a “vertical career move” bit, especially if your promotion cycle isn’t for some time. You could also find something about their practice you like or mention that you’ve talked to other consultants at PwC who seem to really like the culture/work compared to your current company.

I was in the final stages of an interview with Microsoft two weeks ago, in partner marketing. Then the recruiter told me they were putting the hiring process on hold to assess the need for the role. Well, then we heard about Microsoft layoffs last week. Seems like most were in Xbox and Project Alpha but there’s not a lot of information out there. Should I hold out any hope that I’m going to get this job? Any insights on how much these layoffs have impacted the marketing org and/or new hiring?

Hey folks - I have an inquiry on my credit for a gym membership I “failed to cancel”. I had previously left this gym as it closed during pandemic, and shifted to a new location. In doing so, I informed the gym I would be leaving. However, I recently checked my credit and saw that my membership had not been cancelled and had been sent to collections (prompting an inquiry and dropping my score).

Has anyone experienced this, and is aware of next steps to take here?
