Out of the four placements on the Finance Graduate Programme which one was the most challenging and why ?

Anna R.

Finance Graduate: GCT Pensions

Hi Alexander, thanks for your question!

Personally, my most challenging placement was my first placement. The combination of it being my first role alongside starting my Professional Qualification made finding the right balance a bit of a challenge for me. However, there was loads of great support from the Group, and my team were amazing, so it didn't take long to get into a good flow! Also, once you've done a couple of exams you figure out what works well for you individually in order to study most effectively.
