Tranieeships and the world of work
I think I have a pretty good traineeship. It dawned on me today some of the similarities between my current traineeship with PricewaterhouseCoopers here in Colombia and working for AIESEC as an LC member.
My first priority in my job is client work, and when I have client work to do, then that needs to be done. But so far over these first two and a half months, that has probably only been about 60% of my time. With the other 40% I have a pretty wide amount of discretion as to how I spend that time, and I like that. It gives me the chance to think of something I want to do, then do it, much like being a member in AIESEC. I have a vast array of possible experiences to pick and choose from, and am limited pretty much just by my imagination and my ability to explain how it could be beneficial to PwC.
From PwC's point of view, they took a trainee so as one of the guys in my team can spend a little less time working on reports for clients and a little more time marketing for new clients. Beyond that, their priority is to provide me with a good experience that lets me learn and experience the things that I want. And maybe in the process I will be able to provide a new perspective on something. So I think this works out well for all of us.
I think I am going to look into the idea of expanding the range of services that our team offers to included actuarial related services. There's a sizeable market for it here in Colombia, and very little in the way of local providers. Time to discuss the idea with my team's Partner.
