  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
  • As part of the Business Insight Week I completed tasks relating to a variety of topics (under the bridge of consulting) and I interviewed a number of people (mostly involved me asking them questions about interested their field of work). On the last day each member of the Business Insight Week got together to produce group projects -- very fun day!

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?

  • 5. How well organised/structured is your programme?
  • The first day was very organised and it was extremely useful gaining a brief understanding of each sector within the firm. Likewise the last day was very organised and slick, thus was very enjoyable. However, at some points in between this I found that there was little structure - but I didn't mind as I just emailed PwC employees asking if they would be willing to meet with me to chat about their fields as they also interested me
