Hi, does anyone have any idea about how long does it take for PwC (Middle East Graduate Programme) to respond whether or not I will be invited to the final round (partner interview)?

BIG4 have been awfully (>3 weeks response times) slow in the middle east region in the past few months, based on my experience coaching candidates. So be patient :).

Have other options going in parallel.

All the best.

Hi there,

Big 4 can take a lot of time to move you to the next round. I once helped a candidate who had to wait more than 2 months to get a reply.

The best thing you can do to speed up things if you are stuck is to land another offer and notify them – this should help to accelerate things.

Hope this helps,

Francesco

As it is said, it might take quite a lot of time. Totally agree with Ian - wait until 2 weeks before reaching out!

Hi there,

I agree with Adi. While responses can be as short as the same day, they can take several weeks (sometimes more).

If you're really stressed/concerned you can reach out. However, if you do so, please make sure you wait at least 2 weeks! Furthermore, when you reach out, please be very careful with your wording. I just had a candidate follow-up with HR with a poorly worded email (he should have checked with me beforehand), which will now risks his results if he was indeed about to be offered another round.
