Consulting

June - August 2022 • New York City, NY

What I liked

My team worked to engage me on our projects, giving me work and responsibility and allowing me to engage with the client. I learned so much because of this, and felt like I was actually contributing to the team, making me even more excited to work.

Advice

Ask for work and be willing to try anything, even if it's out of your comfort zone. Doing that will not only help you learn but make you stand out to your team as well. Plus, your team doesn't expect you to be perfect, they just want you to give it your best shot!

Cloud Innovation and Engineering Intern

June - August 2022 • New York City, NY

What I liked

It was a great opportunity to get exposed to so many different types of technology work and roles. I got placed on a working team so you really felt like you were a full time employee. Everyone was extremely friendly and always willing to help me or talk about their experience.

What I wish was different

I wish it was a little longer because that would have given me more time to get comfortable and more fully integrated into the team.

Advice

Going in I thought I needed to be very knowledgeable on the skills required for the project. But this is not the case. You learn 80% of what you need on the job just by doing it.

extern

May - July 2023 • Florida City, FL

What I liked

What I liked most about PwC was the organization's commitment to professional development and learning. During my time there, I was impressed by the emphasis placed on continuous learning and skill development. PwC offers a range of training and mentorship programs that empower employees to grow and excel in their careers. This culture of learning not only fosters personal and professional growth but also contributes to the overall success of the firm.

What I wish was different

I thoroughly enjoyed my experience at PwC; however, if I could change one thing, it would be the format of the work environment. While the virtual setup allowed for flexibility, I believe that an in-person experience would have provided more opportunities for spontaneous interactions, relationship-building, and a deeper sense of connection with colleagues. Nonetheless, I am appreciative of the valuable experiences and skills I gained during my time with PwC

Advice

During my time at PwC, I found that clear and proactive communication was crucial in ensuring successful collaboration and project outcomes, especially in a virtual work environment. Regularly checking in with team members, seeking clarification when needed, and openly sharing progress updates helped to maintain effective teamwork and alignment on goals

Management Consulting Intern

June - July 2023 • Boston, MA

What I liked

Everyone was very helpful; can speak to anyone (even partners will take time for coffee chats); lots of upskilling courses available

What I wish was different

Lot of training to do even though I already had some of the skills; wanted more work to do but was only an incoming junior so once I finished my project we were done; hard to switch consulting practices right away but messaging people usually helps

Advice

Don't be afraid to reach out to people up top to help you find your way in the company; messaging associates for coffee chats helps you understand what consulting practice you want to join
