Thinking of leaving audit after my second busy season . My main interest in accounting was always the forensic line but got recruited for audit. Now I feel this is the best time to transition. Any advice for someone who wants to start with CPE route instead of CPA (did it a couple of time and did not pass) seeing it as a sign to go for my main interest. Also do I look for position as senior or just Associate. PwC EY KPMG Deloitte

So for me the case study and written exercise were the same thing ("case study exercise"). Might be different across capability groups. Which team are you applying to?
Structure:
- Intro to the case study with a Principal
- Drafting time (~20m)
- Presentation (10m)
- Discussion (20m)
Not 'hardcore' in the sense that they want you to do mental maths or come up with a view on the spot. But certainly expected to frame your thoughts and be comfortable exploring areas in detail which you know nothing about (for me, this was IT implementation).
Principal would be worth a shot, depending on how strong you think your position is. Something to discuss at the offer stage, perhaps.
Any questions feel free to DM me!
Very helpful, thank you!
My experience was a bit different to PA1, where I was given a case study/written exercise and given 2 hours to prepare a 20 minute presentation on it, to which I presented to a partner as part of a 1 hour interview (brief sent at 9am and presented at 11am). Quite intense but I have no experience of MBB exercises so can’t compare.
Definitely enough experience to go for principal, all depends how you sell yourself and your other offers on the table - although expect to be on the lower end of the pay scale for that role though with that experience.
6YOE - 3 in consulting and 3 in industry. Unfortunately wasn’t considered as PC but got offered C
I was informed by my recruiters that external PC entrants are expected to have 10YOE
May I ask what salary and bonus you were offered?
