Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Working at home or in the office from 9am. Checking emails then starting on the days work. Working on decks, attending client meetings, prepping for workshops, or researching for a deliverable. Interns have coffee breaks at their discretion then tend to break for lunch between 12 - 1. The day is split up by team video calls, self driven networking within the firm, and project work.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Not everyone was, but I threw myself into my second project and as a result was given a lot of responsibility: building slides, creating questions for stakeholder interviews, brainstorming with the team, and taking part in workshops.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
