Fair enough i applied for TAX, im not doing the UCAS one cus i got a 5 in maths and i cant get into any of them, and plus the UCAS one is so shite, u go to uni for the first year, no working at all and get 13 week placements for the rest of the 2 years at UNI, and you not guaranteed a job after, hell no thats basically a uni degree and abit of work experience

THISSSS! I said this too many ppl cos they legit stated that a job is not guaranteed but it gives you a high chance which is sooo sadd! It a 4 years programme aswell idek if it a masters or standard degree! It not a apprenticeship it more like a sorted internship and uni fees are only reduced a little! I also applied to the Tax one!

High chance my arse, it doesn’t guarantee anything it’s literally work experience, it’s rlly bad I need to be in full time work

Yess hope we both get offers for tax! It’s not even something I wanna do. I’m more of an audit girl but you can internally move to audit after you finish the apprenticeship so that’s what I’ll do I guess

Frr Frrr, i would be gutted to do a 4 year degree with PwC to not be given a job at the end and having to look else where.

Yess really, I don't get why PwC is taking so slow with the School leavers cos they are usually swift in rejecting people, yhh I'm like a floater as I like to do both so that why I don't really mind

Maybe we didn’t get rejected 😜😜
I haven’t seen any pwc threads for school leaver roles anywhere so I can’t even ask ppl
Did u apply for London?
Also I contacted them and they said they’re gonna start giving AC offers around the 10th of December 🫠

I did the actual interview last month 😳

Oh gosh they need to review your assessment asap

I did horribly on the assessment I got 0 marks on the logical reasoning 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yet they still gave me an interview
Love PwC for that

Just wondering if anyone applied to the 2024 apprenticeships for the big 4 I.e Delloite, KPMG, EY , and PWC?

wanted to know how you guys are finding the assessments and interviews plus tips you could provide!

Hi Have had offer for EY (tax), final interview done with BDO and final assessment with GT this week. Processes are long but tend to follow same format. Will probably accept the EY one but will still continue with the others as almost finished. It is a relief and worth the time invested.

That makes so much more sense I wondered how you got in so fast!! Deloitte only lets you skip the first assessment but still makes you do job sim even if you attended their work exp programme
