Wade Beal, a Senior Associate in the Campus Recruiting function with PwC (PriceWaterhouseCoopers), joined us for this week’s episode of Life In Accounting: The Where Accountants Go podcast!
PwC
While the purpose of this episode was to give some insight on the process to prospective interviewees, I wanted to start with some background information on PwC and what makes them unique. Wade covers several important points including how he’s found the culture to be ‘true’ to how it was originally represented to him personally, which is obviously refreshing, as well as a few of the more unique benefits that PwC offers it’s employees.
‘Own’ your own development
I also found this comment from Wade very enlightening: “own your own development”. Wade makes the point that it’s not only important to achieve a good GPA, but that it’s also important to be responsible for your own continuing development from a soft-skills perspective. We all know that leadership ability and the ability to manage relationships over time makes a difference in your ability to continue to progress within any firm.
Surprising comments
Make sure you listen all the way to the end as well because Wade shares some surprising, and very useful, advice on doing pre-interview research as well as post-interview follow-up. It’s not just the standard advice that you typically hear. He has some very useful pointers for those getting prepared for interviews, whether on campus or otherwise.
I hope you enjoy this episode. You’ll hear it in Wade’s voice yourself, but it’s worthwhile to mention here as well – Wade definitely loves his job.
Have a great week! There’s more to come…
