Thank you.

[@elisabeth3254]

Thanks for the video! I have a job interview at PwC for an internship (in tax) soon. Do you have any advice? What questions were you asked?

[@adamramirez1]

Hi, you've mentioned about camp PWC, is it a certain place for the interns?

[@adamramirez1]

No just an analogy lol

I have been applying everywhere as a 2019 graduate for internships specially now that Im working on my CPA and all my applications have been rejected. I graduated in the Philippines back in 2019 and migrated to the US and now losing confidence in landing an internship and or entry-level position. Any advice?

[@adamramirez1]

I would focus on applying to entry level roles if you graduated in 2019. A CPA will give you a leg up on most candidates.

[@marcmadnersho]

@@adamramirez1 actually been applying for those but no luck. I am hoping to pass my exams soon to finally get a job. Already finished FAR and AUD. Hopefully passing all by first half of this year. Do you think i can get a big4 entry-level position with a CPA Certificate?

Were you doing the start internship or a regular one? I’m doing the start internship this summer they’re taking us to Orlando, Florida for 3 days, I’m located in Texas. So far I’ve done a couple of events and I love PWC so far! I have also received their offer for winter Audit 2024 planning on accepting that too.

[@adamramirez1]

I did a regular internship not start. Congrats on the offers!

[@garyonly2002]

Hold on. You said you already received their offer for winter Audit 2024? When? How?

[@Mriamk37]

@@garyonly2002 yes when how?

Heyy, I’m going as well this summer. Would you like to connect?

I applied for start internship and I’m getting an interview for advanced where I get a case study… how should I prepare for this? What are good things to know?

[@adamramirez1]

There was no case for my interview

[@andypoon82]

how was it???

[@lily-gp6vy]

im currently deciding on whether to accept an internship with PwC or Deloitte. i need help so bad!! lol

[@adamramirez1]

Both are pretty neck and neck. I would say it comes down to desired location and personal preference.

[@raulcruzrosalino938]

Wherever you feel comfortable and see yourself that you can work there. It all depends on how your interactions with those two firms are too both are great firms to work for.

[@TiffanyLand]

congrats on your offer, any tips on how you landed an offer?

Working at LA is notorious for having a lower pay, I’m in the San Francisco area. Most top 15 firms are giving 38-40 plus 2500-3500 bonus. I agree with you about how they invest in there interns to retain them. I would say that they wouldn’t want to give so much workload and scare the interns what the real truth is where you work 100 hrs a week and most higher ups wear that as a badge of honor which I for myself don’t think that’s healthy setting to work but it all depends on the person but that’s just my preference.
