  • 7. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
  • We had an entire week in London, inlcuding free accomodation, where we were able to talk to industry leaders, clients and members of the firm. We had pannel discussions, simulations and other exiciting group tasks. I never expected a firm to invest this much in future talent.
