Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
A lot - I had a buddy who was ready to answer any questions I had (which was helped by the fact he was a year into his work with Deloitte, meaning he had recent experience I could learn from). My line manager and team within Retail Conduct were also fantastic alongside my buddy, and I felt no question I asked would be looked down upon and they were very invested in my career development.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Deloitte to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Deloitte
If you’re at university or applying out of school, try and get involved in as many societies or activities as possible - it’s amazing after you realise it doesn’t matter what degree you do, but instead an important aspect is what skills you’ve developed from specific extracurricular activities.
