My PWC Adventure

Why bother with an internship at PWC? Why not just worry about getting hired after graduation?

Well, idealistic reasons aside (workplace fit, experience, learning, etc) , according to a 2008 PWC profile by Businessweek (yes, them again) 90% of their summer interns were given full-time jobs offers. Also, in 2008, 69% of their entry level hires were undergrad interns.

Does this mean that you absolutely must have an internship with PWC in order to be hired? Of course not! You may be part of the remaining 31% that gets hired without internship experience. On the other hand, being chosen for a summer internship can save you a lot of sleepless nights when you get closer to the end of your senior year. In a sense, the internship process can be the real Superbowl of employment.
