Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We each got assigned a principal and trainee buddy and regularly got tasks assigned to us from them and graduate recruitment. There were also lots of social and networking events to get to know the firm better. Overall, I got a really good insight into the work and culture at the firm.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very helpful to attend several practice overview sessions from across the firm. We also had talks from the technology teams and senior management of the firm. In sum, I've left with a deeper understanding of the various roles available.
