Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I am an intern working in the DB retirement team. On a day-to-day basis I will be performing individual calculations for members (typically CETV calcs), performing monthly tasks such as updating monthly yields, AVC conversion factors etc. I usually just do whatever I can to help out, I have also undertaken approximately 35 hours of training in essential pensions and actuarial foundations.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I feel as though I was given an appropriate amount of responsibility. I was working on real clients, but not without my work being thoroughly checked.
I enjoyed the responsibility as I felt like I was making a real difference.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend WTW to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to WTW
I think a lot of the culture is about being your best self - and that only happens if you are yourself so I'd advice people to do that, be themselves and show a lot of passion and enthusiasm for what your applying for.
