Yes

Yes, but I dont think they read it. My cover letter was pretty generic and I still was invited to interview

You’ll likely be asked for one, likely won’t be read in most cases. That said, I did read a cover letter once or twice after I was on the fence after interviewing a candidate, and it helped pass them (both thoughtful and well written)

What about them did you consider “thoughtful”? Anything specific we should touch on?

1. Is the PwC AC DDVIT team same as Strategy& or these two operate differently?
2. How is the overall worklife balance for PwC DDVIT team?
3. What are some some good benefits in PwC AC (monetary/non-monetary)
4. How much time does an associate 2 take to get promoted to senior associate?
