  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • The first day is spent with every one at one office (from all over the UK), and is spent getting to know everyone and giving you advice for the rest of the week. The rest of the week as an Intern, I spent shadowing at my local PwC office, and it really gives you an insight into day-to-day work that you would do at PwC. To get the most out of the 3 days you spend at your local office, ask as many questions as possible. My most valuable time there was the 10 minutes I spent speaking to a director. I spent the week in indirect tax, although it is always worth asking if you want to spend time in a variety of areas. I also spent time on a client call, having direct contact with the clients that the team was working on.
