Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
During my placement the Government announced that they'd recommend Employees to WFH if they had the abilitity to do so. Lighthouse suggested Placement students still come in as they will need support however maybe one senior came into the office consistently so it felt kind of redundant. Support wise most teams are great although in my third rotatation I was placed in a team of 2. Support wasn't the greatest.
