Hello Everyone. I just received my offer to resume as an Associate next month at PwC . However, the offer didn’t specify the sub-unit I’ll be deployed to. During the interview, I mentioned my interest in Digital risk and Cybersecurity, which is the area I’m most passionate about. My LOS is Consulting and Risk. How can I ensure that I’m assigned to the Digital Risk and Cybersecurity unit?

Also, what steps can I take now to prepare myself for success in this role?

Could you please elaborate more on this? Thanks

You won't have choice on what you're staffed on at first, you can certainly express interest though. Get a wide experience of projects, you don't actually know what you like yet.

As far as what to do now? Go touch as much grass outside as you can, see your friends, enjoy your hobbies etc. It gets harder to do all those things when you're working.

Thank you so much for this.
