Trainee Associate Review

At PwC I am a trainee associate in tax. My day to day role involves preparing tax returns for assignees coming in and out of the UK for work purposes.

My knowledge of the UK tax system has improved vastly since I started work and it is continuously developing everyday as I come across different challenges.

I absolutely love my job. When I wake up at 7.30 in the morning I don't feel depressed that I've got to come into work, I feel excited that I have a whole day of personal and professional development which motivates me to perform at the highest level I am capable of.

I feel incredibly valued by the firm. I am aware of the amount of investment both finnancially and in terms of investing time and I understand what the firm expects of me.

Incredibly organised, I understand what I must do by what deadline and I am constantly reminded of my targets.

I receive so much support especially in the workplace. I can approach any member of my team and ask for guidance.

An incredible amount. They are incredibly accommodating depending on my personal circumstances.

For a 20 year old, the amount of money I receive allows me to live comfortably taking into account all costs I incur throughout the month.

There are a huge number of opportunities outside of work from sports teams to volunteering. It is all so accessible.
