I've noticed postings that mention that fresh college grads are seen as more preferable hires than those who have been in the work force. Is this true? Also, since PwC is known more for accounting/tax/audit -- how does the advisory component compare? I've seen mention of a "Change & Program Effectiveness" team on their website, but have not seen any postings that reference this team. I have 3 years of change management/OD/BPR experience and am curious to know 1.) if there are growth opportunities at PwC in consulting and 2.) will 3 years at a different firm be seen as an asset or liability?
Any and all advice/comments/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance. |

You people really are stretching my brain tonight.
Change and Program Effectiveness....seems like that's mostly our UK brethren although I'm sure that we in the US dabble in it.
If you're coming from another BIG firm, it's seen as an asset. It's an ego thing to steal people from one place to another.
What you need to do is find someone who already works for pwc, network with them, have them get you to the right partner, and then all of this other nonsense goes away.
Fresh college grads are easy to bill out (lower rate), not nearly as demanding and cranky (more like eager pups, wanting to work their backsides off), and cheaper salary wise. So yes of course, they're a preferred hiring.
Advisory is just a fancy term for consulting. I could look up how much it makes up of the business but I'm too lazy.
Don't know where you are located at but the only decent OD types I've met come out of the California and New York offices. But maybe I don't get out enough.
