  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I have developed and learnt many, many new skills such as motivation. My motivations are money and fun. Another one is time management, where we had to be independent and go to meetings on time and ask lots of questions, this developed my questioning skills. I also developed my communication skills.

  • 9a. Would you recommend M&G to a friend?
  • Yes


  • 9b. Why?
  • I would recommend m and g to another friend because for an investment company they have a very relaxed dress code and they have a very friendly atmosphere. This means that you can wear jeans to work instead of coming to work in a suit. You also get a range of experiences.


  • 10. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to M&G?
  • Tips I would advise to others applying to m and g would be to have a very unique application so that you stand out from others. Also to be more confident in who you and so that you can stand out and be different from the others and can be your own person
