Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was so surprised at the amount of responsibility given to me as an intern throughout my placement. You're continuously pushed our of your comfort zone and there's so many different opportunities to enhance your skills and learn new things. However, you are completely supported by your team and other employees, they're always very willing to help or put you in the right direction of who can.

On a personal level there has been a real focus throughout the year on my personal development with quarterly meetings with my manager focused on this and the encouragement from SAP to set goals.
