Why the Interviewer Asks This Question
PwC pridefully advertises themselves as a global organization. "We bring together the collective experience of over 395,000 people in our expansive network of firms in 152 countries to solve for tomorrow. And as part of the PwC Network, we work with the world's leading organizations on their most challenging strategic problems to create real impact, building the capabilities they need to thrive in a changing world." So, this question is aimed at determining how far you would be willing to go to pursue a long-lasting career with them, regarding your career advancement, and how far you would be willing to travel or relocate to pursue that career advancement.

What You Need to Know
PwC advises their candidates to prepare as much as possible for their assessment. This should entail not only researching PwC, but yourself, your professional history, unique experiences, and all the responsibilities you've taken ownership of in the past. As they state on their website, "Even highly capable candidates can perform poorly at this early stage, sometimes failing to do themselves justice at all. Therefore, preparation for this element of the assessment process is as vital as stages much later on in the process."

Tips
HireVue's On Demand interviews allow you to take the interview on your own time. It will record and analyze your performance and pass that information and the recorded interview onto the hiring authority of PwC. "You will use a computer, tablet, or mobile device to answer questions created by the company for the position you are applying for. Your answers are recorded for a representative at their company to evaluate. Because HireVue is not directly involved in the hiring process, the company you applied to will follow up with you about their hiring decision or any next steps after you complete your interview."

Experienced Example
"I would take any opportunity to advance my career with PwC very seriously and would be willing to entertain any avenues to do so. If the company decides to hire me, it isn't something I would take for granted. So if they said the company needed me to travel or relocate, I would certainly be open to learning more."
