Vantaggi
- Undertaking a placement at SG is a great way to explore various different industries and understand what sort of jobs are out there once you graduate. You'll also understand a lot more about the recruitment process and how to make that work in your favour when attending interviews and assessment centres. - Great exposure to clients across different industries, occasionally you'll even get to meet them face to face - Very young office, great vibe, nice people - Lots and lots of responsibility, something you'll probably never experience in a massive corporation during your placement year (you gotta be up for it though, cause no one is going to do it for you, as everyone has got their own stuff to do)
Svantaggi
- If you already know what you want to do after graduation, this placement is not for you, as industry knowledge and insight is probably the best thing you'll get out of this placement - Heavily underpaid for the amount of work and responsibilities required of you, (i.e. it's probably not the best choice if you're all about the money, but IMO placement year shouldn't really be just about the money) - You'll be required to do a lot of random stuff not included on the initial JD, which can be both good and bad, but you gotta be able to get on with it - MD is really strict on being in the office on time in the morning, which is not very fair cause you'll usually stay back late anyway (it teaches you to be punctual though, and you might lose few pounds running for those morning trains)
