Advisory Associate Interview Questions

5,933 advisory associate interview questions shared by candidates

All interviews were generally very conversational and everyone was really nice, but it seemed like all they wanted to do was chit chat and not really talk about my credentials. Perhaps this was part of the test because I didn't get an offer. I did ask several questions throughout & tried to promote my credentials. There were numerous other candidates there so I assume there were limited positions. It was awkward as I'm married but separated from my spouse but do not tell anyone that. I do not wear a ring & when I brought up I had a child I was asked about my "ex-spouse." I was horrified at having to explain my marital status & simply said "I'm married." 1 interviewer was very odd, not very friendly, asked nothing about my qualifications and asked weird questions and was short in demeanor. What would you consider the biggest risk to telemedicine? If a client had a million dollars to spend what you tell them to spend it on and why? What is the Compliance Officer's primary pain? Ok how would you tell the Compliance Officer to overcome this pain?

Well the second interview managed a hedge fund prior to coming to PwC, so the first thing he asked was a cryptic question regarding the current state of the capital markets and why I think it would be a good time to be a consultant in that industry.
