      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at PwC in Jan 2023

      Interview

      The interview was actually not as scary as I thought it would be. My best advice would be, no matter how scared you are just be yourself, they will appreciate that.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Describe yourself ?(don't ramble, be prepared to answer this in the shortest way possible) How do you like your coffee? (I think this was an icebreaker because they could see how nervous I was)
