PWC people: I'm really nervous for my interview for FDD tomorrow. Really want this position and really not happy with my current job and am READY to make the move.

I've been preparing extensively, learning all about the practice and quality of earnings, EBITDA, net debt analysis, NWC, etc.

Does anyone have any last minute advice for for me? :)

Make sure the interview covers the entire interview time and don’t rush to ask every question. Sometimes you have to say give me some time to think about it.

You got this OP! Just relax and be yourself. You can talk about how you like the overall direction he firm is taking in terms of our people strategy (you can talk about My+ and the new equation) and say you want to be a part of a company that really invests in its people.

Friendly reminder that in interviews the interviewer wants to know:
Why are you interested in joining “my” company? And NOT why are you trying to leave your current company.

Make sure to focus on PwC, your fit for the role, and what excites you about it! Good luck

Yeah we’re not disagreeing here.

But when I ask someone why they’re a good fit for the role and I hear instead why they hate their old company and want something new, it doesn’t really make me feel excited about hiring them.

Goodluck!
I have also have a FDD interview tomorrow but with KPMG.

I was just informed after the third round of interviews they’d like at least 5 references, two must be supervisors. My last job was a temporary remote job where I didn’t really interact with my supervisor and the jobs before that were at my family’s business (I do not speak to any of them for serious personal reasons.) Anything before that was grad school and I haven’t kept in contact with any professors from over five years ago. What should I do? 😕

Hey team! So I was laid off from my SDR position about a week ago.
