  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Our role was to experience the different lines of service PwC offer, such as tax, consultancy and audit and this involved working with financial reports and technical teams. Every day we would be assigned a different 'buddy' to take us through their work and the projects they were currently working on.
