Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My daily work would most likely to be documentation and recalculating figures on the Financial Statement plus team daily catch up meetings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Not really, but I am always glad to do more work. It's very understandable though, because the internship is not very long and I am not familiar with what I am doing, but PwC has the responsibility to guarantee the quality of work to clients.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
4/5

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Definitely. I think the biggest takeaway from this would be how to work with others at the workplace, it was very different from how we behave at schools. People need to manage their relationship with colleagues and improved my communication skills a lot.

Yes
