Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Got to attend talks from successful women in technology working at KPMG, and got an insight into their career paths and what a career in tech looks like for women now at KPMG. Got a great insight into what the technology unit of KPMG actually does, the different sectors within technology (Cloud, Cyber security, etc) and what a normal work day would like like in the department. Also had the opportunity to learn Python, network with other students and develop personal/interview skills.
