Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Shadowing a mentor within the Asset and Wealth Management (AWM) team in the Financial Services Tax team. I had the opportunity to sit in on client meetings, ask questions about the type of work that is completed as well as network with a variety of employees across various teams within the department, including senior managers and directors.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I was exposed to numerous teams and departments within the tax line of service, some of which I had never heard of before. I gained lots of valuable advice about future career progression and potential roles that could suit my skillset going forward.
