  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Personal experience was that I was treated more like an associate than an intern so my work hours tended to be a bit longer especially when deadlines were coming up but this is reflective of the level of work I was trusted with which gave me a fantastic experience and the chance to learn a lot.
