    Usually 2 interviews of around 15-20 minutes each. They're not too bad.

    It'll depend on which office. I assume the competition will be firecer in Dublin than Limerick, and with Galway so new, it's hard to say if they'll even take graduates this year.

    2nd round should probably take 30-45 mins in Limerick. Hoping it won't take that long though.

    It's actually the regional offices that are much harder to get into when applying to Big 4 and mid-tier firms as there are much fewer places for the numbers applying.

    True story.

    AFAIK BDO Dublin are taking in approx 20 audit grads and 3 or 4 tax. I think there's around 80 people going for interviews.

    I'd be surprised if Galway were taking any. Didnt they just let go a quarter of their staff there?

    That would be less than a handful of people in Galway, it's a new office.

    There's 6 places in Limerick. 5 Audit and 1 Tax, with a possibility of one of the audit getting some CF experience too.
