  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • Our role was basically to shadow our buddy for the day to get a glimpse at what it is like to work in PwC. Each day we had a different buddy who worked in a different department and this gave us the opportunity to explore all areas of the business. We also worked on a group project throughout the week which was great fun!
