Overview of Role

Generally you are given a good amount of responsibility. All client work is checked by a more senior member of the team before it reaches the client, as such, you are given opportunities to tackle some more difficult work knowing that any gaps or mistakes will be caught before being sent to the client.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
