I say yes because a lot of teams are having people leave or may have already been low on personnel and need to rebuild before busy season starts at start of the year. I just got hired at PwC and start in a little over a week so yes in my case and I’ve seen lots of other openings

I interviewed first week of Dec and got an offer on the second week. With everyone trying to wrap things up before the holiday, they seem to push things through quick

For those who have gone through Mck First Round/Final Round - could you talk about how the interview took place?
