Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Attending meetings with my principal, doing independent work (both for a project and tasks assigned in my different seats), going for coffee catch-ups with people from around the firm, listening to the various sessions provided by Graduate Recruitment.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Very insightful, especially as the firm is so large and the work is complex so understanding how all the different groups support each other was extremely interesting.
