    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • Hearing from the firm itself makes you understand this on a much better and deeper level. As much as you can read about them on the website, being able to hear the partners talk about their work, or hearing from a trainee about what their job entails and being able to ask them questions was so helpful. I found that I learned a lot about them during this one week.
