STUDENT SPOTLIGHT: Miranda Ran Wang

Miranda Ran Wang shares her interning experience at PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the largest accounting and business consultancy firm in the world:

"My internship with PwC was an exceptional learning experience. Our group - Market Information & Data Analytics - is a unique team within the firm dedicated to analyzing and distributing market information to PwC engagement teams in over 158 different countries. Through my internship, I was able to learn and apply different kinds of technology tools to process large volumes of fund data and generate reports for our engagement teams. My role in the team was to assist senior analysts with the pricing of derivatives swaps such as interest rate swaps, credit default swaps and FX forwards. One thing I learned is that it is important for any intern to be proactive and take initiative. Although the seniors in the group are incredibly busy, they are also very helpful and open-minded. Do not be afraid to ask questions or make a mistake, that is how we learn new things and progress. I am looking forward to graduating in two months and starting my career in the public accounting field."
