My role at PwC was in the DC pensions department. On a day to day basis I would attend calls from different clients ranging from triennial reviews to governance meetings. I would also be tasked with compiling data and preparing that for clients. I would also attend in house calls with members of the team to review and discuss client and team expectations.

Throughout my internship, I was given large amounts of responsibility working on different client projects. During my last two weeks, I was given numerous tasks I was left to complete and review. My responsibility grew throughout my internship, which increased the number of independent work I was conducting.
