I found the week very informative and useful.
How well organised was your virtual experience?

Very organised. [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions] was particularly helpful.
How much did your virtual experience help you in deciding on your future career path?
2/5
A fair amount. I am definitely interested in BDO and their programmes but I am not 100% sure which branch of learning I would like to specialise in. An in office experience would have been better.
Were you paid or reimbursed for this experience?

No but we got goodies.
