Now that I joined S& as an Associate with tens of mock cases under my belt, I reviewed my 2018 PwC Challenge Case Comp material, and I still have no clue on how to approach it. 🙃

For the record it was a fun experience.
- I stayed at 90 Park for the entire afternoon (where most of my peers have never visited, or perhaps never heard of)
- I got a pair of PwC branded earbuds and a mini flashlight for free. I think the former costs 10ish @ the PwC swag store
- I also got a free meal 🤣

Can you share it?

Don’t add extra work to yourself 😴

Man I missed the time when I was just ignorant. That was a really fun time where I was not worried about my future, career, etc.

I did that case comp simply because my friend’s team was looking for ppl. At the time of my team’s presentation:
- I didn’t know what consulting was
- I was confused between “PwC” and the all lower case “pwc” logo
- I’ve heard of the term “Big 4”, but I could perhaps only name 2 of them
- I couldn’t spell out PwC
- I’ve never heard of neither MBB nor S& 👻

More confession: I still can’t spell out neither Deloitte nor KPMG

Is this a ted talk

Can someone explain the role of cases in the consulting world? We did them in university but since then I have just written them about work completed.

How hard is everyone pushing their corporate clients to authorize nonresident assignees whose only 2020 US compensation was the value of their 2019 tax preparation?

From my own point of view, I don't really want to spend my time on such returns, either, even if the revenue and easy return are nice.
