  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I thoroughly enjoyed many aspects of my internship these include: the coaching culture of the firm which created a supportive environment to learn, the opportunity to do real work for real clients on a daily basis and the diversity of this work.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • inevitably when working on some of the more high pressured clients as an intern your contribution feels less valuable. However when working on other projects I felt that my work would have been of real value and be used.
