Audit Intern

January - March 2020 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

I liked seeing the "busy season" of public accounting. It helped me gain perspective on the profession and learn the tasks that would be expected of me if I were to start as full time staff.

What I wish was different

Advice

Ask the right questions, and use those questions to learn. By understanding your assignments, you can ask more in-depth questions.

Audit & Assurance Intern

June - August 2019 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

I liked how structured the intern program was. From the first day to the last, there was always a clear agenda and we knew what was expected of us. There were also many opportunities to network with seniors, managers, and partners at the company. I enjoyed getting to work with 39 other people my age who had similar skill sets to me, but still pushed me to grow. My internship provided great insight into the corporate culture of Deloitte and made me excited for what's to come.

What I wish was different

I wish there had been an option to do a rotation program where we worked in audit, tax, and consulting.

Advice

My biggest piece of advice would be to talk to as many people as possible. I set up coffee and lunch meeting with employees twice a week just to hear about their experience and the steps they took to get there. Ultimately, doing this led me to switch from an audit intern to a full time position in tax.

Discovery Rotational Intern

June - August 2019 • San Jose, CA

What I liked

I learned so much about the tax and audit services. There is nothing better than hands on experience.

What I wish was different

I wish I had spoken to someone who participated in the summer prior to my internship so I'd know what to expect.

Advice

Do not be afraid to ask for help. Even if you think your question is stupid, they do not expect you to have much knowledge on the work you're doing. You're there to learn!

What I liked

The work was interesting & challenging. The people are amazing, and you get so much experience as an intern, doing a variety of different things.

What I wish was different

I wish it could have been longer!

Advice

Definitely secure an internship prior to seeking full-time work, if you can. It’s a great introduction to your future career choice, and you make connections that you’ll resort to for the long-haul.

Business Technology Analyst

May - August 2019 • Arlington County, VA

What I liked

What I liked most about my experience interning at Deloitte was all the cool people I got the meet. Whether they were employees at the firm or the other interns it made going to work so much fun. I also liked how everyday at Deloitte was different from the one prior. Always something new to learn, and more people to meet!

What I wish was different

I sometimes wish I had reached out to more people to expand my network and actually took time to ask compelling questions that tailored to the specific people. I always wish I had spent more time learning how to use certain programs/software.

Advice

Make everyday worth it. Whether you accept the job offer or not, take these 2 months to really soak in as much information as possible and NETWORK. There are so many different types of people that work at the firm so take the time to really get yourself out there because if you do return, it'll make getting staffed on a project easy!

Advice

If you enjoy a fast paced environment and want to learn to work in a variety of fields this is a great internship for you!

Risk & Financial Advisory Intern

June - August 2019 • Detroit, MI

What I liked

I absolutely loved the culture at Deloitte. The people are what make it so amazing, and truly what gave me an incredible experience. The work is refreshing and new since I was able to see multiple clients, but the teams at every client are what make the experience so great. Deloitte is an amazing place to work and I am honored to have had two internships there, and a full-time offer when I graduate.

What I wish was different

The only difference I would have liked is seeing more work in a different offering they have that I am interested in. It was not until the end that I discovered an interest, so I will most likely be able to experience that when I start working full-time.

Advice

Network, network, network. Deloitte is all about meeting new people and building business relationships with the people around you. It is really important to know people all around in order to better your team and your own work. Take advantage of the time you have with people high up, such as PPMD's (Partner, Principal, Managing Director). They love to share their story and they are full of insight. They also want the best for you and are more than happy to help you reach your goals.

Risk and Financial Advisory Intern - Securitization

June - July 2019 • Jersey City, NJ

What I liked

Everybody was so nice and willing to help you with any trouble you may have had. It was not an intimidating atmosphere at all and you learn so much about business in general and how to effectively multitask.

What I wish was different

I wish there were more practice modules to take before we were assigned client work, however the best way to learn is to just go straight into work.

Advice

Be prepared to learn things at a quick pace and make sure you ask a bunch of questions if you are not sure about something.

Risk and Financial Advisory Intern

June - August 2019 • Chicago, IL

What I liked

I absolutely loved the firm and everybody I worked with. It was an amazing experience to get so much hands-on experience in my field and have the opportunity to network and take advantage of all the resources of a Big Four firm. I also appreciated all the speedy feedback I received from my team members. Deloitte was quick to extend a return offer at the end of my internship.

What I wish was different

I wish my internship had been longer because it was such an enjoyable experience and I would've loved an extra two weeks of client work.

Advice

Go in with a positive attitude and a desire to learn. Even if you don't have a lot of relevant experience or technical skills, those two things will get you far and enable you to succeed within the firm!

Take advantage of any opportunity given to you. Try out different assignments, you never know what you like or don’t. Communication is very important especially while judging different assignments. Connect with as many people as possible and get to know their experiences for a better informed perspective on a career path.
