Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

It was a really great opportunity to speak to lots of people from different teams within the firm, learn about their roles and day-to-day work and ask as many questions as possible. Everyone was incredibly friendly, and the structure of the day was a great balance of friendly and informal but also informative.
