My role is similar to those of a fresh graduate, which involves the testing of client's accounts and my day to day also involves having meetings with the clients.

A lot, I was assigned to a coach and a buddy to help with with any problems that I faced during my placement.

Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes, there are bi weekly socials where we join a call and just chat with each other as well as a huge office social. These virtuals socials really helped as due to work from home, I have never been able to meet my colleagues personally.
