Need some advice! I’ve been out of the interview game for a long time but I have one coming up with a partner at PwC for an advisory role- is it going to be technical (expected to complete a case) or more conversational? I’m just nervous bc it’s 45 minutes long. Also any other tips would help, like how to dress, etc. Thanks in advance!

It will be conversational. I would wear a suit. The people you have previously met with vetted you from a skills perspective. The partner just wants to make sure you are a good cultural fit.

I’ve had many pwc partner interviews… second the above about it being a conversation. Be yourself. Ask questions.
