    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    • The vacation scheme consisted of a combination of organised Firm talks/workshops and real-life work from your department. We were also encouraged to reach out to people outside of our department at the Firm. There were also two social events (one virtual and one in-person event).

    • Yes. My technical research capabilities definitely improved as I was responsible for a lot of research-based tasks for my team. I also developed my confidence/networking capabilities as I was encouraged to speak to people across the Firm.
