First I was based in More London completing our learning logs for the adult management level 2 course, and we completed different activities. We also got to learn more about the firm and what their day to day operations. For the second week I got allocated to work in EY's office in Canary Wharf. I was then looked after by my buddy who gave me different tasks for the week.
