Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I have had more career clarity after my time at Lloyds banking group, do I know what will be next? Just maybe or not! But I'm open to continuous learning, conquering new frontiers, daring to dream and try each passing day to achieve them, enjoying each experience to the fullest. I won't trade this experience for anything in the world.
