To all the PwC folks in the group, what is the difference between experienced associate and senior associate at PwC. How does the hierarchy at PwC work? I am an associate at ZS with 2 years of work ex. Wondering what role would be better for a switch.
Thanks in advance.

I can tell you for sure that if you try to switch to PwC with your current experience, there is no way they will offer you a Senior Associate role. You will be placed at Experienced Associate role only.

Apart from salary differences, you just get more leadership related roles in work sprints, or internal firm development activities at an SA level. You would also be staffed on multiple projects. As an EA there isn’t much of a difference apart from work and experience that you gain from a fresher in the firm.
I’m assuming you’re trying for PwC AC. As all of the above info is in regards to the experience in the PwC AC offices. (AC~ Acceleration Centers)
