Overview
In the morning we would have talks from various departments and initiatives, followed by work on our sustainability group project, then followed by work with our trainer in our allocated department. The scheme gave me real insight into the brilliant culture of A&O, as well as the work it does on a day-to-day basis.
Skills
I have learnt to be as detailed and direct as possible with my questioning. I have also learnt a lot about financial regulation, specifically regarding crypto assets and the resolution procedure of major banks.
Business Insight
It was very intellectually stimulating, and very efficient in the way the information was delivered.
Culture
Pleasantly surprising. Everyone was personable, available and friendly. I felt able to ask anyone a question, no matter how senior.
Your Impressions
Immeasurably. I can't thank you enough for the week, it was a brilliant insight into the firm and allowed me to learn a great deal about a multitude of practices, groups and the firm's culture.
Yes
Stress your curiosity, and your willingness to learn.
