Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
It was a 3 day insight into PWC. You get the chance to meet different people at different levels of the business and ask questions and learn more about the role. It showed me different people's journey into the role and why they chose PWC.

It was very helpful to know what the role entails as I have only ever had the chance to ask lecturers at university not people who was working as an actuary currently.
