Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
On the first day, I attended an introduction to the firm's practice areas, its culture, its pro-bono work and its internal network societies. I also had the opportunity to participate to a wonderful social with trainees. It was very fun to make pizza!
On the second day, I shadowed a NQ in the Technology & Data department. I assisted to two client meetings and work on a task about AI. Everyone was kind and approachable.
