Your Impressions
I have gained hands-on experience in managing and understanding IT projects, which has allowed me to see the impact of my work and contributions to the organization. This will be invaluable in the future as I am interested in pursuing a career in tech. This placement also allowed me to network with industry professionals, which could lead to mentorship, employment, and professional referrals.
Yes
Pro: Be yourself and always ask for help. You have to be proactive Con: Very easy to get lost as Marsh is such a big company and might not get the help you need if you're not out there. Also not much job prospects and progression if you need it
