Sharing my PwC Assessment Centre experience for young graduates out there 💼
PwC graduate trainee programme is very competitive, but here’s what I learnt:
1. Arrive early, register fast and stay calm. It helps you settle in and observe the room.
2. ICAN certificate is NOT necessary, but having it really helps you stand out from other candidates. I had mine ready and it gave me an edge.
3. We had a one-on-one interview first before the group case study. Expect different questions — be ready for competency-based ones like “Tell me about a time you…” 😂
4. Then we were put in groups for case study and had to present solutions. They’re not just judging your answer — they watch how you collaborate, listen, build on others’ ideas, and show leadership.
5. Even if you’re not the main presenter, contribute actively. Assessors notice people who facilitate good discussion, not just the loud ones.
Extra tips that helped me:
1. Research PwC’s current focus areas (digital transformation, ESG, audit quality etc.) and tie your points to them.
2. Use simple frameworks like SWOT or “Issue → Impact → Recommendation” when speaking.
Only the top candidates get called for bootcamp. Treat every moment as part of the assessment — even during breaks.
Stay focused and good luck to every young graduate applying.

When you are happy,
when you are sad,
when you are depressed,
when you are full of strength,
when you win,
when you lose,
when you find love,
when your heart breaks,
in lack,
and in abundance,
Talk to God first.
Incase no one has hinted you, as you're stepping into your 30s, prepare to deal with midlife crises. It doesn't wait till your 40s or 50s anymore, it comes for you in your early 30s.
You must have seen men in their late 20s getting rid of their full beards and going bald, no be swag, na confusion 😂🤣. Life hard gan.
Just remembered when I had my Bloomberg system design round. It was the first time I had to design systems at that scale, and I was so nervous.
I put out a tweet asking if anyone would be kind enough to do a mock interview with me. Out of everyone, @kelseyhightower responded. He gifted me a solid 30 minutes of his time and helped sharpen my doubts.
I went into the interview feeling super confident and nailed it. I'm really grateful to people like Kelsey who devote their time to helping others.
There are 10x engineers and he’s top of that list.
A former chairman of one of the top banks, who is a silent follower here, and we have never physically met, was on the phone with my family till midnight on the night I was being dragged here, trying to intervene.
Two months later, his company offtook one of our projects for almost half a billion Naira.
I also randomly retweeted a sick baby's fundraising. He came to my DM, asked whether I confirmed the case, asked for the hospital account and sent N10m, the entire hospital bill, for the baby's surgery.
May almighty Allah continue to bless him.
We have never met in person but he is such a kind person.
Our paths crossed on Twitter.
