Hi all,
I've got an interview on Friday for an associate position with PwC's Financial Services Advisory Regulatory Practice group. Anyone have any interview advice specific to PwC and/or that particular group? Will it be more of a fit vs. technical type thing? I would be eternally grateful for any insight yall could provide.
A little about my background, I'm a former lawyer currently doing some contract work with a smaller advisory firm.





It will probably be all
It will probably be all behavioral unless they ask you about your specific experience, at which point you would have to prove you have the technical knowledge you say you do. However, different interviewers have very different styles. As an experienced hire, it is likely you will get fewer of the standard behavioral questions. The interviewer may instead pick his own questions based on his/her assessment of your skills, and will likely try to make it more of a conversational type of interview.

My two cents, the PwC
My two cents, the PwC interviews I had were all 100% behavioral, conversation types. Nary a technical question in the bunch.

I wasn't lawyering for a very long time, and I'm new to the advisory game. Plus, its a great organization, so I'm not going to complain about not being a Senior.
Everyone - thank you for your help!
