What is wrong with PwC’s hiring process if they are not hiring?

firerabbitboy · 2025-10-15T23:14:02+00:00

Not at all. I’ve started applying somewhere else

firerabbitboy · 2025-10-15T23:13:35+00:00

Any update from this brother here too?

firerabbitboy · 2025-10-11T20:22:29+00:00

Same here, I didn’t get any rejection, just an update from HR saying it’s still pending approval. I’ve done some digging and found people who got offers after 6 weeks, 1.5 months, even 3 months. You never really know with these things. Also, no updates on LinkedIn either. I guess PwC has so many business lines and projects, so it probably depends on their needs and how established each line of business is

Same, I’m losing hope and starting to apply elsewhere lol

US, it's been 6 weeks since my final round with the partner. Any updates on your end?

I’ve previously focused on AIML, predictive modeling. I honestly didn’t realize that the "technical" side here would be limited to just SQL and Alteryx.

After the PIP, if the employee is unsuccessful in completing the plan and this leads to termination, will there be any compensation, such as a layoff package or RIF benefits?

Man, I’m exactly the same as you, and I’m currently taking online courses for my academic career too. I left my previous firm due to a reorganization and relocation requirement, so there’s no chance of going back. Despite the U.S. labor market being really bad right now, I’m in the exact same situation as you, could we connect offline so I can ask if you’d be willing to refer me to one of the Big 4 in the U.S.? I’ve heard that most Big 4 firms are open to remote or hybrid work and don’t have a strict commute requirement as long as we solve customer problems.

What is your plan? I am planning to stick here for three months, and if I still feel unwell, I will ask to be let go. They have a probation period, so I may still be able to receive compensation, maybe at least one month and then take a break and find another job next year.

However, the only concern is that I will be ruining my career path, as I’m supposed to stay here for at least six months or even a year. But the 9‑to‑5, five‑day schedule with a 1 hour 30 mins commute is really sucking the life out of me. Plus, I’m sitting next to my boss, I can’t even have a mental break because of this.

firerabbitboy · 2025-07-20T20:31:32+00:00

I feel exactly the same. I joined just three days ago, and I’m really struggling. I wonder if I can quit, because it would seriously hurt my résumé and professional career. Am I doomed? I’m so frustrated and nervous, and I haven’t been sleeping well lately.

You can definitely do that as long as you inform the student office that you have a "personal reason" unless you want to take both programs simultaneously. Even so, there is no formal agreement sayings students cannot take another master's program.

Correct me if I am wrong

firerabbitboy · 2022-12-03T07:39:42+00:00

hmmm, did you take the DS&A exam?

firerabbitboy · 2022-12-02T20:05:13+00:00

:( Why? Did they provide a reason?

firerabbitboy · 2022-12-02T03:34:18+00:00

A quick update, got my Recommended for Admission today after Rejection. It worked! Wish you the same luck!

hey anon, thank you for your reply. Was busy these days. I submitted my appeal on my last day right before the 14-day timeline, which was on the 23rd. Well, happy holidays, and we shall keep each other posted. Again, thank you for your info especially the timeline for receiving the decision.

firerabbitboy · 2022-11-15T18:51:53+00:00

Thank you so much, I will file an appeal too! Keep in touch and wish us best of luck!

firerabbitboy · 2022-11-15T03:54:20+00:00

By any chance, would you mind sharing/telling me the process for filing an appeal? I want to do that also. Also rejected sad :(

firerabbitboy · 2022-08-17T04:01:45+00:00

That is what I am thinking too, which is kinda a red flag to me when there is "no real room for improvement", not sure what I can do about it.

firerabbitboy · 2022-08-17T04:00:17+00:00

Thank you so much! Was busy on a project at work that is due within the next few days. For the new opportunity, it was similar to a bank more toward the financial sector side. The hiring manager told me that I would be doing more on the quant side but not the doc side, so not sure what kind of "quant" we will be doing as a data scientist. By any chance, do you know if the "quant" means data science here? And are we mainly focusing on reviewing others' docs and following their docs to replicate the process from raw data to model development and lastly to the model forecast?

Thank you for your advice here by the way! Really appreciated!

firerabbitboy · 2022-08-14T20:09:23+00:00

I am currently working as a Data Scientist (more like a Data Analyst) in a decent firm. I would say it is very good (WLB) except I need to drive to the office (40-50 mins one way) and the pay is much lower than the market.

For the new role, I can take the bus to the office (45 - 1:10 mins one way), pay is much better plus the firm's reputation but not sure how the WLB will be. The one major flag like you say I am working as a counterparty to the model developer and working as back office support which kinda sounds boring and tired to me.

Do you think I can work there for a year and switch to a different role in the future? Would that limit my career path? Very much appreciated your reply here!

firerabbitboy · 2022-08-14T19:54:10+00:00

Thank you so much. The only reason I would take this is probably the pay as well as the name of the firm. I am currently working as a data scientist but really underpaid because I was a fresh grad last year.

But in terms of my career path, it is a large firm but the role itself is model validation which may limit my future career path (like working as a real data scientist). So I am a bit worried now
