Tax Intern Review

As this was an internship, there was less of a focus on technical work for clients, and more on looking at broad overviews of how the industry works, specifically tax. Nevertheless, there were a range of opportunities each day to get involved in, from client calls, to meeting with partners.

Boost in confidence was the main skill that saw massive improvements, as you realise that if you don`t put yourself out there, get involved, and ask any questions you have, you will see it as a missed opportunity.

Not largely, but that was mainly due to GDPR which is understandable as you need a certain level of clearance to be able to work with sensitive information and client documents.

I cannot say enough about the support and guidance I received during my placement. Every single individual I spoke to offered me additional guidance and got me involved in as many opportunities as possible in the short 3 day programme.

Very supportive and stimulating. Completely surprised me just how helpful the people were, ranging from associates all the way to partners. The culture is very much we want you to succeed and do well, which speaks for itself.

I enjoyed it a lot, and would have liked it to be longer as it is only 3 days. The placement was very much immersive, and not just giving us work and getting us to do it.

Be prepared for the recruitment process, but do not get too stressed out, as remember they are just looking for your best qualities. In particular, the career focus day is useful as it gets you used to what a day in the life of someone at PwC is like.
