Summer Internship - Partner Shadowing

As a summer 2008 PwC intern, I was given the opportunity to work on a variety of projects with multiple teams on different clients. Working with my engagement teams gave me valuable insight as to what I will be doing when I start full-time with the firm as a new associate. What was great about the internship was that not only was I exposed to real work very similar to what I will be doing, but also I was able to take part in all of the activities available to us as interns that allowed us to have a better understanding of the firm and our future profession. One of these activities included shadowing a partner. Having this opportunity was one of my most memorable experiences over the summer. I was able to spend an entire day with a partner at the firm, which gave me a completely different perspective on auditing. I was really able to see how the work I was doing as an intern and the work that the partners do come together to complete the audit. It really proved to me that the work I was doing was important and gave me a great sense of accomplishment.
