Overview
Reporting to actuarial consulting and investment consulting areas. This involved producing various reports, calculations, drafting emails and taking part in meetings.
Skills
Vastly developed excel capabilities, communication styles, ability to work as part of an office environment, whilst also developing skills such as presentation, problem solving and planning.

Lots of support and guidance. The office was always busy with helpful and friendly people. I had daily interactions with people within the company ranging from new graduates to partners.
