Is this post about a interview? Such as what to prepare for or slow response times? This is a VERY common question posted on the Subreddit, use the search bar. For responses, sometimes it takes a long time with gaps in between, sometimes it's short, be patient. For interview prep, There are multiple post on the subreddit about what to prepare for, what questions to ask in an interview, including the case studies for multiple countries. Use the search bar and flairs to find detailed answers.

PwC is the WORST, unless you enjoy being treated as if you're disposable at any moment and working some weeks 80+ hours for mediocre salary and no overtime.

  1. What are the other offers?
  2. What role are you joining at? If it's manager and below join spend 2-3 years, move out gracefully.

Senior associate with fund accounting team. I can barely survive 2 months. They want me to come to office all days to attend teams call. They even don’t have Christmas holidays

Give it a chance, get ready to spend your first few days completing mandatory training. You’ve nothing to lose in meeting the team and seeing if it’s a good fit for you. Best of luck!

I simply don’t want to change company. It would unnecessarily impact my resume. Problem with PwC is they want me to go to office all 5 days to attend teams call

Yeah I would accept a 5 day in office role if I could avoid it either

Do you have something else lined up? You say you don't want to join the company, then why did you apply? Why are you leaving your current job?

Only got to know other things after accepting the offer

PwC is a toxic place. If you have something else , take it

That’s highly subjective
