not challenging tbh, basic questions about why you want to do it and a few case studies. Just learn PWC values briefly and you should be fine.

Well done on getting to the Assessment day stage! I’m about to do the online career conversation. How’d it go? Is it worth spending a lot of time preparing?

I think everything is quite easy and straight forward. For your video interview, just do some research about pwc and do some practice beforehand which it allows you to do.

What do you think the success rate will be for passing the assessment centre and getting a job offer?

If was honestly a lot easier than I was expecting. You're asked questions about PwC and your chosen university as well as the programme and given questions where you have to respond to a given scenario. Just research PwC and it'll be fine

Hi does anyone know how long it takes to hear back after completing the career conversation?
Thanks

Heya, just saw this and I'm going to the same one too!! Have you prepped for it?
Hi, once you completed the career conversation, how long did it take for them to say if you’re through to the assessment day?
Anyone else passed the assessment day? Got an email from the course director at Nottingham saying I just have to wait for UCAS to update and that I’ll be getting an offer soon

How many people were at the assessment day, and how many in your group?
Do you know what percentage of people will get an offer? :smile:

Maybe 25ish at the assessment day, split into groups of 3-4. Getting in at that stage isn’t so much based on percentages either, they have a bar for quality you have to meet and if everyone at the assessment day was to meet it everyone could get an offer so don’t worry about competing with your group just focus on doing your best. Good Luck!

Did they call you to give you an offer or just on UCAS track?
