  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • To a very good extend. I wished we had a little bit more training initially but for the short amount of the internship is was very good and really well structured. The internship also offered throughout the program insightful talks about specific topics that continued until the end of the summer.

    • Unfortunately London is a very expensive city and although there is good compensation the living standard is incredibly high, especially for juniors

    2/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Good and vibrant nightlife just across the corner in Shoreditch with many activities.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Opportunities were limited for within the office and hence in the summer we could not really get involved outside of work much.
