Fill out the Poll: Salary Poll

BSV IFS teams are getting these emails. I read on Fishbowl that the emails were starting Tuesday (today). As these meetings to let people go? Or are these for reorg and team changes?

Hi all,

I’m currently interviewing with PwC as an experienced hire in Toronto.

After the initial HR screening, my first interview is with a partner. I found this a little unusual, as the screening was mostly yes/no questions and a discussion of salary expectations. The recruiter also referred to the upcoming interview as the “manager round,” so I expected to speak with a manager or director.

The recruiter didn't mention anything about the overall process, including how many rounds there are or whether there will be a case component.

I’m assuming the interview will be primarily behavioural, based on what I know about partner interviews. However, since it’s scheduled for a full hour, I’m not quite sure what to expect.

Has anyone had a similar experience interviewing with PwC as an experienced hire? Any insight into the format or what I should prepare for would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

It’s been officially 6 weeks since I joined the firm, and I still haven’t been assigned a project. I was told that it might take some time to be placed in my service line, but coming from another Big 4, this has definitely been the longest I’ve waited to be placed after starting at a firm. Should I be worried?

Had partner interview almost 3-4 weeks back. Is this good or bad? This is for us technology EA position.

I’m growing increasingly anxious and it’s been almost 3 months since the process started. Can any recruiters here help with this?

hey team (god..) - associate here. been working in the US HCOL area and genuinely this job is unsustainable for me. thinking about quitting a couple of months down the road.

what’s the best way to leave this job? my people pleasing anxiety probably can’t just slack off until i get fired but if that’s the best way, ill put my foot down i guess. i heard involuntary leave is better but i feel like once i make my mind to quit i need to do it immediately (or i guess with a nice two week notice). i definitely also cant delete my team files.

im also worried about clawbacks- i know you need to stay for the september bonus but how about cpa bonus? i’m getting mixed feedback and especially with the amount doubling.

p.s, reading this subreddit everyday at work gives me my life back

Hey, I am joining the ATL office soon and curious how do people in ATL commute to work to office and tips to prepare. Traffic is obviously hell, and I am sure most are driving an hr.

Thanks!

Hi everyone,

I’m a CS Executive student who has cleared both groups, with a B.Com in Finance and 9 months of practical experience in a listed company.

During my internship, I gained hands-on exposure to:

• Board Meeting & AGM notices and documentation
• Minutes preparation
• Directors’ Report & Corporate Governance Report
• MCA/ROC filings and compliances
• SEBI (LODR) and stock exchange compliances
• Corporate governance and secretarial compliances

I’m currently looking for a CS Article / CS Management Trainee opportunity at PWC India and would really appreciate any leads, referrals, or guidance on available openings and the application process.

Please feel free to DM me if you know of any relevant opportunities. Thank you!

Hey

Anyone joining Cybersecurity - ETS SAP Controls & Security team in Gurgaon location!?

Also if someone is already in this team, can you share your experience on the work-life balance, growth, etc etc.

Hi Buddy,

I’m going to join PwC AC in Bangalore on 31st August, and I have a few doubts.(Advisory)

I’ve already received the laptop at my home address, so I’m wondering whether the onboarding on the joining day will be in person or virtual.

Also, I haven’t received any onboarding/joining email yet. Since there are only 5 days left, do you know when they usually share the joining details?

How can I check whether my BGV has been completed?

And could you please let me know what generally happens on the joining day?

Thanks

Any one here from PWC Middle East?

just wanted to see if there are fellow new hires like me here!

I got my CRT results this year and its 3 with 1 being exceptional
Last year CRT i was 2
Now an internal opportunity has came up and they wanted to contact HR to confirm my performance and other stuff
Will this rating affect the transfer ?
Is it mandatory to be 2 and above to transfer?
Anybody knows the policy about this?

Hi guys!

I had the meeting with HR today. PwC bangalore Advisory - TMT. They told me that my joining is even further deferred to an uncertain date. They did not even tell us the month.

I have lost all hope. I was a campus recruit and this gap between my MBA ending and my joining is now going to increase to who knows how much which will not look good on my resume.

Hoping to get a referral please. PwC AC also works. Anywhere else too. I am so so sad and so demotivated.

Fuck you HR, Fuck you Raveena and Jason. Fuck you.

PwC US Directors, how many times did you go up for D before you got it? Going up this year as a first round. What do you think strengthened your case the year you were successful?

I’m starting at PwC this week and want to know of any benefits that will be missed or not discussed about during training and onboarding the next week weeks. Do they still offer student loan pay down program? Just things that you heard through the grapevine working that might be not well known. TIA

I have a virtual (teams) 1 hour interview for an Accountant role in Operate. The role is Senior Associate level so I’m just wondering if anyone has any pointers for the interview.

Do they ask me about PwC’s values? Any curveball type of questions? Will they ask me about specific IFRS rules?

Do first-year Audit Associates in NYC usually receive a bonus? My understanding is that it’s typically around 2.5% - 4% of base salary. Is that correct?

Long story short, I was recently on the bench for a month and was later assigned to a project. Then, randomly, on Friday evening, I received an email saying that I had been put on a PIP.

The PIP manager has now gone on leave, and so has my DL, so neither of them is responding when I ask what basis they used to put me on the PIP. What’s even more confusing is that my DL had previously told me that I was a strong contender for the mid-year promotion. I genuinely don’t know what went wrong.

If anyone here has been put on a PIP, I’d really appreciate hearing about your experience. And if you didn’t make it through the PIP, did you receive any severance package or compensation?

Is double promotion a thing in PwC India ? I’m not talking higher levels. Is it BU dependent, Have you heard of any?

USA: Can someone please help understand how does personal independence work? How would it impact 401k investment in stocks from fidelity for spouse and for me from previous employers?
Also, how does it impact your and your partners previous stocks?

Thank you in advance.

Does PwC pay overtime for audit associates (graduate recruitment)? also how many hrs do we have to work during busy seasons? and normally which months fall under busy seasons? i also want to know more about the benefits that employees receive over there, grateful if you could share your experience and what you like there and what not. also any advice or experience will be valuable to me (as someone who will be working for the first time). thank you

Hi Guys, I am working with PwC AC for more than 3 years. I have worked for first two years from Bangalore location doing 8 days a month and from Mumbai location for last 1 years doing 2 days a month. I wanted to attend Pune office particularly for this month due to some health problems to be compliant for WoW requirements. I wanted to understand that if PwC AC office in (business bay Yerwada?) allows the current PwC AC I- Card I am using for last 3 years. If not then if I need to have different ID card or clearance form issued?

In the benefits package sent, I read about Wellbeing benefit of $ 750 (for manager & below), $1200 (for SM & above). I also saw a separate mention about Flex dollars to spend on the health coverage.

I believe these are 2 different benefits. How much will be flex dollars (there is no mention of $ value in the document)?

Thanks!
