Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We had a number of sessions and talks to attend each day helping us to get to know more about the firm and their culture and the process of becoming a trainee. We would then be sat in two departments (one each week) and get set tasks to complete by your supervisor or others.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very good, there was multiple sessions and talks on how the business works as a whole and people were more than happy to talk about other roles and how they worked.
