Careers & Transitions
Balancing Uni, Work & Life
Learn how Ariana built her career at PwC Australia while finishing uni. Starting her career while studying made a lot more sense. Ariana joined PwC Australia's Trainee Program while completing a Bachelor of Business, giving her the chance to work full-time in Banking and Capital Markets while continuing her degree.
Since then, she’s worked on projects for some of Australia’s leading financial institutions, built skills in Excel, Alteryx and Python, and learnt from people across PwC Australia, from senior associates through to partners. She’s also had paid study leave, flexibility around uni commitments and plenty of chances to meet people outside her immediate team.
