With an internship in tax at a Big 4 lined up for this summer, I often get asked by family members what I will be doing. Well...I'll be in the tax department, specifically working with financial institutions (banks). But what do I do every day? As much as I have learned throughout the recruiting process this semester, I don't really have the answer. What I do know is that it will be very different from college accounting classes. Training will be very important in achieving success in the internship. How much does the firm expect us to know on day one? Hopefully not too much. It recently dawned on me that although I can spit out random stats and values of each firm, the day to day activities are still a mystery. Will I be filling out tax returns? Probably, but hopefully with a little help.
I guess the answer to the original question is time will tell. Everyone's day to day activities will be different. The middle six weeks of the internship are a mystery at the moment, but nevertheless exciting.
