    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • The vacation scheme was amazing. The socials that were organised were delightful and helped us get to know the other vacation schemers better as well as extend our network within the firm. The work was of a high level and is a testament to the trust that the firm places in its employees.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • The supervisors, graduate recruitment team and people in the departments made an effort to integrate us into the firm. I was invited to client meeting, drinks and sports. It was definitely not a case of being just another number.

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • I was taught how to do work in a way that is practically beneficial to clients which will be very useful when working as a trainee. I was given advice about soft skills such as business networking and improved my research skills.
