The Role
Project work with both extremely busy periods and very quiet times. Typical day was 9-6.30, usually with a full hour lunch break. Some projects required significantly more hours, likewise, others were very relaxed.
Varied by project. Always encouraged to work with a level of responsibility I was comfortable with, but also pushed to challenge myself. I was able to work at Senior Associate level on multiple projects.
Broad variety of work, great teams, high level of responsibility and incredible support and guidance along the way all contributed to gaining skills I will use on a regular basis, both inside and out of work.
The Company
