It was digital during an unprecedented time, but what I did know is that everything I attended in the past with PwC was incredible, so I wasn't worried that the digital aspect was gonna be a limitation at all. Instead, being on my last day of my internship, I can confidently say that these last two weeks I was able to be equipped with those client-facing soft skills that will be extremely applicable when I join 2021 as a full-time associate. I was able to expand my network, build my personal brand, and there were so many people willing to help me even if it was through a computer screen. I sometimes forgot that I was sitting at my kitchen table and wasn't side by side with someone in the office. It was such an incredible experience and it really painted a clear picture in my mind of what it is like to be a part of team PwC. Danielle Advance Advisory Intern PwC Recruiting:
