Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Very much so, the work was varied in terms of location and types of companies audited, the people were very friendly and supportive- you get to see all the industries you can go into once you're a qualified accountant and RSM is a great place to do it as they don't over-work their employees as much as higher earning firms and exams are only taken 2 at a time which provides you with a much better chance at passing first time- if I decided to take on the qualification I wouldn't recommend anywhere else more.
