How did you get your job at Deloitte?
I'm a Senior Associate in Audit & Assurance and I joined Deloitte straight from College. I didn't want to go to university and, during year 12, I had the opportunity to take part in the ASPIRE Accounting work experience week at Deloitte, which is designed to inspire students from different backgrounds. This gave the opportunity to meet future colleagues and begin building relationships. I applied for the BrightStart scheme in my final year of A-Levels and the key to interviews was being yourself. At Deloitte diversity is celebrated and we appreciate each other's differences.
Where do you work and what do you enjoy about life at Deloitte?
I work in the Birmingham office. It's a great location as we're right in the beating heart of the city centre. We have the option to work from home, but I prefer being in the office because I find I learn better and there's more opportunities to socialise after work. There is a big drive at Deloitte to create a healthy work/life balance, which I think is really important. When we roll onto a new audit, we are actively encouraged to discuss our activities outside of work. For me that's playing rugby - I train twice a week!
