"The Big Four firm has limited hiring for new associates in the advisory division to 13 offices, Yolanda Seals-Coffield, chief people and inclusion officer for PwC US, told Business Insider in an interview. Previously, entry-level consulting hires could join any of PwC's 72 US office locations. But since fall 2025, advisory associates have been assigned to one of 13 offices, which include key markets like New York, San Francisco, and Washington, DC."
"The isolation of the COVID years, combined with the way that AI is changing the nature of work, has chipped away at some of PwC's sense of connection around learning and development, especially for younger employees, said Seals-Coffield. By consolidating junior consultants into fewer offices, PwC hopes to build a greater sense of community and encourage new recruits to grow together in their first two years, said Seals-Coffield. After that, they may move to different offices."
PwC limited hiring for entry-level advisory associates to 13 U.S. offices, down from eligibility across 72 locations, with assignments beginning in fall 2025. Tax and assurance recruits retain the ability to apply to all U.S. offices. The firm intends to concentrate junior consultants to strengthen community, support shared learning, and counter isolation experienced during the COVID years alongside shifts in work driven by AI. New advisory hires will train and develop together for roughly two years before having flexibility to transfer to other offices. PwC stated that the office consolidation will not change overall hiring numbers and will be reviewed annually.
