Has anyone else applied for a Big 4 on campus interview at LSU this fall? I've applied at all 4 and hoping to hear back soon.

I interviewd with PwC in one of the technical dvisions a year ago. The interviews there were pretty conversational and not very difficult. Nothing techy or out of the blue.
I didnt get the job so you might not wanna listen to me.
Hardest interview question I got was from Goldman Sachs: "Whats the biggest liability in hiring you"

You probably don't need to be on the Money Board then.

B4 interviews are never difficult. It is more of a "would I be willing to be stuck in a small room with this person for 10 hours a day" than anything.

Reminds me of a story I heard at training:
College grad goes to NY to interview for GS IB. Staff place him in his interview room and leave. GS cranks up the temperature so that it is really warm and comfortable (I think they have him sitting on a couch). He is left for 45 minutes...and falls asleep.
When the GS VP walks in to interview him, the kid is sleeping and the VP flips out and says that he is finished and can leave. The kid responds (paraphrasing), "frick no, I have waited an hour for you to come in here and interview--so thats exactly what you are going to do".
Interview begins and during it, the VP says "Sell me something" so the kid asks for the VPs pencil that is in his pocket. VP gives it to the recruit, who proceeds to break the VP's pencil in half and throw it on the ground. He then says, "Now you don't have a pencil and I control the supply. Pay me 10x what it would have cost you previously."
He got the job.

That's how it was when I went through the interviews. Every firm was virtually the same. I picked the one that allowed me to drink at work functions. If you have the GPA, articulate, and are fairly easy to talk to, you're likely getting an offer.
ETA: I also didn't get offered by PwC
so not sure what they were looking for. Smart, good looking, and athletic must not be it
