Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend BDO to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to BDO
The SSC in Liverpool and Glasgow is very different to the other regional offices.
You get allocated in a random team, without a choice.
The work will just be what the SSC needs, not related to your degree necessarily
Just ask if you need to change
