KPMG
My first work experience placement was with KPMG in the IFSC on George’s Dock in north Dublin. It was quite far away which meant I had to get up quite early to be in time. During my time there I had to perform basic tasks around their office which kept me occupied. Most of my time was spent not working so to speak but rather talking with people about their work. Since it’s such a big firm I talked with consultants to people specialising in aircraft leasing. The most interesting for me however was my conversations with the many actuaries working in KPMG. they interested me as it’s a career I’d consider pursuing and seeing how they worked from day to day was intriguing. Overall it was a great experience which was made better by welcoming people who took me in as one of their own. I am very thankful for this experience.
