    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • I was busy enough everyday that I was never bored, equally though my workload was never at an unmanagable level. It was relatively similar to what is expected of a 1st year graduate so from that point of view it was a perfect insight into what a grad job with KPMG is actually like.

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given a lot of responsibility for my own work and was supported adequately to feel comfortable with this level of responsibility.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The skills I have developed while at KPMG will let me hit the ground running in a graduate job.

    5/5
