Hi fellow designers, I was offered a UX designer role at Egencia in Paris, but it’s been 2 months since they made the offer by phone and I haven’t received the contract. I was told they were switching internal processes, then they were waiting for approval from upper management to make these offers official, and now the HR is working on it after getting the green light. Is it normal for this part of the hiring process to take so long? Or should I be worried?
Any tips for panel interviews?

Very bad behaviour of pwc
They asked details for interview by third party recruiting team.
And then after 1 2 weeks, didn't ask me for a date and time, booked the slot themselves.
And I thought that maybe I can try and adjust, but when I attended the interview, no one actually joined the interview.
I stayed for 15 minutes.
I mailed the HR 2 times since then, but no response. This is so unprofessional PwC PwC India

Looking for some advice on the following - I want to make a pivot back to client services, specifically advisory/consulting/transaction services. I have 4 years public accounting experience, and 3.5 years manager experience within the corporate controllership function, both technical and SEC reporting related (more technical than SEC). What roles would I be a fit for? Public experience includes tax and audit. EY PwC KPMG Deloitte

1) Excel Skills - FDD requires excellent modeling skills. Experience using lookup formulas, building complex models, and being able to navigate Excel without a mouse are great. Experience with macros or Power Query & Power Pivot will set you apart.
2) Experience Doing Something New - Developing and executing an audit program for an event or auditing a new client/entity demonstrates leadership and critical thinking skills that are highly valued in the fast paced deal environment.
3) Exposure to M&A - Highlighting your understanding of the M&A world (e.g., PE, I-banks, typical deal process) stands out. This could come from working on a spin off transaction, supporting a PE client (although working exclusively with PE clients could work against you because of the lack of exposure to everyday accounting—e.g. inventory costing), or doing opening balance sheet work (big thing with this is understanding NWC pegs).
I think in Europe they do more modeling and forward-looking analyses within FDD groups, but not so much in the U.S. We tend to focus on historical figures
I made the move recently these things helped me:
1) audits of cash flows, GC, business combinations
2) industry / sector knowledge
3) any BD experience
4) any additional data analytics skills such as alteryx, tableau power BI.
5) report writing skills
6) general understanding of commerciality and business norms in the sector you want to enter.
7) independence and enthusiasm, no one holds your hand in FDD and you have to be fairly self motivated
I was told there were hiring freezes for FDD until next year..
