"Having previously been an intern within the actuarial team in 2021, I was given the opportunity to build on my prior experiences and work with the team once more. I had an insight into what the team does on a day-to-day basis along with the skills and nuance it takes to work as an actuary. As somebody who is considering a career as an actuary, talking with the team about career progression and incentives was extremely helpful, as many had come from a similar position to me. To anyone with an interest in actuarial, or finance in general, I sincerely suggest PwC Isle of Man’s summer internship program to gain vital experience working in the industry."
