Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
4/5
My role changes as i'm on a rotational grad scheme, but will usually involve assisting directors with their jobs in the teams that i'm in with tasks such as client pitches, advise letters and deal summaries.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
3/5
i enjoy the programme a lot, princiaplly as i like the variety of work. Most of the negatives and stresses come through the rotation applciation process though.
Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
4/5
Yes, this is my first job so i've learnt a huge number of skills. I've learnt to use excel, improved numeracy, calculated complex matters in property finance, summarised leases, delivered pitches etc.
Structure and Support
How well organised/structured is your programme?
3/5
I thin the rotational aspect could be organised much better in therms of the opportunties you get for jobs in key teams at the end of teh programme. However, i would have to admit that this is always oging to be tough on a grad scheme of this size.

3/5
I think that depends on the modules of teh qualification, some of which ahve proved more pertinent than others to my work.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
