PwC Australia Graduate Stories

I get to learn new things every day, which means my job is never boring. It’s also a very hands-on role, where I get to work directly with clients, grow my skills and see the impact of what I do.

I think the thrill of settling transactions and creating major commercial outcomes for clients is what keeps corporate lawyers going – it’s certainly one aspect that I find exhilarating.

We get to learn about new clients, understand how different sectors operate and what people in different organisations do.

In Risk Consulting, we do a variety of work. I predominantly use data analytics to inform investigations, identify anomalies and facilitate program management.

Lawyers need to have good attention to detail and a strong technical understanding of the areas of law in which they practice. 

Despite my background being in engineering, I chose to go into consulting because I wanted a role that really gave me the opportunity to interact with and learn from others.

My paralegal experience along with the practical competitions I participated in at university confirmed law was for me.

I currently work as a Senior Accountant on large and mid-sized assurance engagements with expertise in banking and capital markets, insurance and asset management. 

Forensics consulting can open many pathways in both the consulting and financial crime space.

I chose Risk Assurance as I wanted a role in a company that I knew would be on top of current trends and challenges in technology and in the work they do.
