[pete_mate]

you DO realise, that they started offering interviews on the 26th? - i got mine afterschool the day after applications closed.

to be called on such 'short notice' = pwnt

oh: haha. very funny. how very funny. how very very funny. wow, you are a comic genious, NO

i'd be careful not to be too arrogant. That's a sure way to get yourself rejected.

[gaaay]

i found the same thing, the guy who interviewed me had only been at KPMG a year and it seemed like he'd never interviewed anyone before, he was a very dry man not a good conversationalist. He asked me for my TER, and i asked him what that was and he said he didn't know.........that made me question KPMG a bit, i think we reached an agreement that it was my estimated UAI. For other people going for Middle Market Advisory, i really hope for your sake you don't get the guy i got, wont mention a name but if you get him you'll know who i'm talking about.

Also who has conquest for PwC tomorrow?

Nick

 

[desi-licious]

hey guys...anyone going for pitcher partners tomorrow? nd KPMG as well?

 

[ShadowSwifter]

did anyone at Insight reveal the specifics of Conquest? As in like what kind of activities they ask you?

thanks

 

[NickLG]

i know a friend of mine who currently works at PwC said at conquest her last question in the partner/manager interview was;

"What is your opinion on the reforms in the accounting industry in recent years"

Nick

 

[Vagabond]

^

I extremely doubt you'd get any question like that, unless perhaps you're a lateral hire.

At least I didn't. They're not looking for that...

Yeah I have... but i cancelled most of them because I received an offer I am happy with so far, but will see if the big 4 say anything.

What was up with you KPMG interview? Dead fish as an interviewer???
