Hello! I am student graduating in Finance at a top european business school. I have to opportunity to do a six-month internship in audit at PwC, but my background is in finance (major in corporate advisory and investment banking), but I have no professional experience at all. Do you think that audit in a Big 4 could be a good start? Do you think it is a valuable experience if I want to move to IB?

Can't comment on all locations, but in London I've seen some of the best guys from Audit transition to MM/EB with some then pivoting to BB after. Wouldn't say it's a guarantee, but with some solid networking and qualifications it's possible.
PwC Milan. I already did a couple of assessment centers with BB (Morgan Stanley London) this year, but failed. So I hope that working for a big four could be a plus in term of experience of working under pressure, in an international environment.
