Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The scheme took place over 3.5 weeks.
The first '0.5' week was spent at a central induction in London.
I then spent the remaining 3 weeks across 2 departments at the firm; spending '1.5' weeks in each.
The day to day work in each department was anything and everything I could get involved in as an intern. At times it was as challenging as the level of work that an associate or trainee does.
