I think this simulation did a great job at giving a preview into the tasks and assignments that one might expect to do as an associate at PwC. It felt good to get some experience doing this type of work without the real-world consequences of making a mistake. Comparing my work to the model answers after each task was especially helpful.

I liked how the simulation connected business theory to practical consulting tasks. Preparing a business summary, developing interview questions, and exploring synergies helped me understand how consultants approach decisions. I also enjoyed practicing how to present findings clearly through slides, Excel, and a concise email.

I really enjoyed the practical approach, especially the divestiture interview guide and synergy presentation tasks. It gave me a clear insight into how PwC consultants structure their work from portfolio strategy to synergy valuation. The templates were very professional and helped me develop practical consulting skills.
