Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The scheme was very well organised and appropriately challenging. I learned a lot about the work and financial services, and I found the work to be engaging and suitable for my skill level. Everyone I met from this firm was very kind and welcoming. The social events were fun and allowed all the vacation scheme students to meet each other properly and meet the wider population of the firm.
During the scheme, we were able to gain further insight into the firm's work in other sectors and practice areas.
