Tax Intern

June - August 2018 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

The support system & culture at the firm is great! I always felt encouraged & challenged constantly to do better.

What I wish was different

Advice

I would say be open to meeting and networking with a variety of professionals. I reached out to other interns and employees in other teams and I was able to jump on projects that broadened my perspective on the different lines of services at the firm. As well as my supervisor was impressed with how comfortable I was with setting up coffee & lunches with different people. So definitely get out of your comfort zone and network! You’ll meet a lot of amazing people and don’t be afraid to ask about their career experiences and challenges because professionals enjoy talking about themselves.

Risk Assurance Intern

June - August 2018 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

I really enjoyed the people I met and the challenges that I was presented with. One of the best things about PwC is working with individuals who are talented and intelligent. This enables one to grow as a person. I also liked the amount of technology in my job. I feel like I learned a lot of new tech skills and tech software. At my internship, I was a sponge who was constantly absorbing the new ideas and concepts being presented to me. It was a lot of hard work but when my internship finished I felt very proud of myself.

What I wish was different

I wish I had looked at different careers at PwC. PwC has many different careers and opportunities and I wish I had the opportunity to look at different careers.

Advice

One piece of advice that I would give is that interns should shadow PwC business professionals in other lines of service. Shadowing can help an individual learn about other careers at PwC and if they would like they could potentially switch to a different line of service.

Capital Markets Accounting Advisory Intern

June - August 2018 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

I greatly enjoyed working with the CMAAS team and learning about some of the technical accounting problems that professionals tackle in the real world.

What I wish was different

I would've certainly enjoyed a longer internship and the commute up from Santa Clara was long.

Advice

Don't be afraid to look outside what others in your major are doing. I was originally planning on pursuing an Audit Internship but this route was far better suited for me.

Capital Markets and Accounting Advisory Intern

June - August 2018 • San Francisco, CA

What I liked

I liked the people that I worked with and the camaraderie of the team. All of the interns also got close and there were lots of opportunities for us to work with different people and on different engagements. The full-time employees were also always willing to help.

What I wish was different

I wish we had a chance to visit client sites.

Advice

Don't be hesitant to share what type of experience you're hoping to get out of the internship to your coaching team. Also don't be afraid to share what types of engagements and clients you want to be on if the internship is falling short of your expectations because it goes by extremely fast.
