Hi! I am asking for a friend in tax - “I’ve been in the AWM tax practice for 7 years (4.5 yrs at pwc and 2.5 at private) and am looking to switch to EY’s national tax team (passthrough group). How do they conduct an interview and how technical can it be? Also any general thoughts/ experiences on boomeranging back to big 4 after private? EY PwC

6. Trust yourself, you re gonna do great :) good luck!
Imo no reason to wait until halfway through to do live mocks. No idea what crafting cases is, rocket blocks is decent, but nothing compares to actual live cases. If you have people (more at peer level and not at Bain) you can start practicing with live tomorrow that’s ever I would do. There’s not much like actually doing live mocks
I take this with a grain of salt.
It depends A LOT on how good your mock interviewer is at giving feedback and expliciting the weaknesses. Also, it might be hugely inefficient to do a complete case.
I feel like mock interviews with peers who are also applying are usually much less productive than you realize when you're doing it. Interviewees don't know as much as they think they do to give feedback.
Crafting Cases drills are great for that, but anyway it depends on what works for each one, I guess.
1. Days 1-3: Learn the fundamentals using crafting cases
2. Day 4: use Rocketblocks to practice drills
3. Days 5 - 8: 3 Live cases with Bain consultants / managers with drills in between
4. Day 9: More drills
5. Day 10: Rest before interview
