  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • Yes if you are deciding to apply for Deloitte. Yes if you are planning to go into professional services (big four). Yes if you would like to know the difference between professional services and banking. No if you are expecting activities or a very interactive insight. No if you have no clue which division you want to go into since there is no formal explanation of the daily roles.
