Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Had the opportunity to network through the firm and found myself into a team in the Pharma Life Sciences division, in the more strategy consulting side. On a day to day, I would be assigned tasks which allowed me to take full responsibility for. Both my powerpoint & excel skills grew rapidly as well as my logical thinking.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I would be given ownership of tasks and then would check in with senior colleagues throughout the process to make sure I was on the right track, however there was a lot of creative license for myself to grow!
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

What advice would you give to others applying to PwC
Don't be nervous applying from a non business/ finance backgound. Take the initiative i.e. if you are dissatisfied with your project or don't have much work, then network and try and find more!
