    Your Impressions

  • 5. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I enjoyed the insight for numerous reasons but there are two main reasons that stuck out to me. Firstly, being able to work on actual work allowed me to gain a broader prospective of the type of clients that Clyde work for. Having the opportunity to work on real cases allowed me to appreciate the work I was doing, as if I was part of something larger. Secondly, I enjoyed the vacation scheme because the I learned allow about the firms culture - being able to integrate myself into the firm relatively easy, coming from an ethnic background, was something that I really appreciate. Clyde really do celebrate difference.
