Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Took part in various talks and workshops to gain deeper understanding of the client services associate role as well as the BREAD process. Connected with various associates, managers and VPs across the two days to learn more about the firm culture and get a sense of the firm's values and future direction.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was quite interesting and definitely gave me a better idea of what I wanted to do in the future. Gained a deep understanding of how a reputable company operates and how commercial success can be driven by an individual.
