I feel like I got a decent understanding of what I would actually be doing in the job. I was able to go to my client a few times through the internship and it was a great experience. I also feel like I got a lot of time with partners through out the office.
What I wish was different
I wish I had been a little bit more involved in specific projects. Your internship is very based on what client you get put on and how that team runs.
Advice
Find one person you can ask your dumb questions to. They don't expect interns to really know things but sometimes you're embarrassed to ask stupid questions. So find someone who you feel comfortable talking to.

I liked being with the other interns. It was a great experience to meet new people from different backgrounds and learn their story.

The best advice I can share about this experience is to be yourself but show yourself. These internships are a great way to network and get your foot in the door and are essential to developing your work experience.

IFS Intern
June - July 2018 • Atlanta, GA
What I liked
I enjoyed my time at PwC because it exposed me to different lines of service and different people with varying experiences. I worked at the Data Center and I learnt a lot about technology and how information is processed.
I was given an awesome career coach, peer coach, and relationship leader who was a partner. I enjoyed meeting them over lunch and discussing my future. They all had valuable advice that I’ll always remember.
What I wish was different
Longer timeframe.
Advice
Don’t be afraid to meet people and ask about their experiences while you’re on the job. Everyone is willing to share because they’ve been where you are.
Also keep in contact with your growing networks!! Don’t grow them and leave them. Always catch them up to your progress.

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.
