[@sammal5793]

This sounds sooo similar to my placement experience in finance too, it's nice to see my internship was similar to yours! :)

[@Streetorvintage]

wooo, finance placement squad ✨ hope you had a great time at the internship!

[@sammal5793]

streetorvintage Yeah it was great thanks, I was down in Hammersmith! It was a real eye-opener of the finance world that we don’t get at uni 😅

[@edugoabroad8758]

informative and shorter than other youtubers...👌👌👌

[@masuma7170]

I’ve missed your vids so much. This is sooo helpful, thank you!💖

[@Streetorvintage]

thank you for still watching and supporting!! ❤️

[@andredavis4411]

I know this isn’t important BUT you are stunning

[@amberriley7633]

So helpful

[@Streetorvintage]

glad it was useful! :)

[@600goa]

Sounds like you had a good year, I worked at Deloitte Audit and Risk, got a grad job offer for 2019 in London

[@Streetorvintage]

That's incredible, congratulations!!! Big 4 ✨🎉 hope you had a great placement year there!

[@zetch972]

Gymoholic what degree did you study? Well done.

[@600goa]

@@zetch972 Economics, but it's not about what degree you do. It's about how u are in the interview.

[@anjolaolusanya5628]

Hi I have my Deloitte interview soon, do you have any advice x

[@capo4154]

Adi_97 I’m working for Deloitte but in Tax department. I am also 2019 intake

[@sunilkrishna9941]

This is cool....will it be late if we apply in Jan?

[@Joker-yw9hl]

I already have a BA but it's not related to finance or accounting. Starting my own ecommerce business got me really interested in budgets and accounts, and I like to give financial advice to people who are struggling. What's it like working in this field? I'm really intrigued. I was accepted for a Masters at Durham last September but cause of the rona I put it off a year. Any advice?

[@monaDJ139]

u are great

[@Streetorvintage]

you're incredible! thank you for watching ❤️

[@madhavkrishna9199]

which uni did you study???

[@DOUBLETGAMER]

great video! could i ask how much you got taxed on the annual salary?

[@IONS-LEGACY]

It would be her salary £20,000 less Personal allowance of £11,850. Whatever that is will then be multiplied by basic tax rate of 20% and then finally taking away all her monthly PAYE from that figure.

[@ExquiziteSoldier]

Is it too late to apply? And is there any useful links to do with placements? Thanks

[@Streetorvintage]

not at all, there should still be loads of placement jobs still available! I used my university job portal but this site may help - www.ratemyplacement.co.uk/search?show=jobs

[@nims8442]

What month of the previous year did u send in ur application?

[@Streetorvintage]

I applied for the job in November of 2016, did the video interview on Jan 17, and had the assessment centre on Feb 17 :)

[@geznicks]

I hate assessment centres with a passion. They are not an effective recruitment tool at all.

[@isabellacorelone3550]

You didn't even talk about what interview question they said ..and how they asked

[@Streetorvintage]

they were all the standard questions : why this company, why this role, tell me about a time you had to lead a group, tell me about a time you had to manage conflicting deadlines, where do you see yourself in 5 years

[@mursleenakhtar4183]

Ela @isabella don’t appreciate it but thanks for replying and letting us know about the questions :)

[@sachinmistry1401]

Shout out to UPI-Finance Controllership 😉🎉🎉

[@Streetorvintage]

REPRESENT!!! Hope you're having a sick time there fam 😎

[@leonajwan889]

Thanks for the information you are a star beautiful lady

[@cindympangi6619]

Did they offer you a job after third year ?

[@Streetorvintage]

they didn't have any finance graduate jobs so not directly! all the universal placement students were asked to apply for their 'future leaders programme' but I didn't apply as it wasn't specialising in finance

[@wisdomsimeon431]

I'm at Surrey, if i see you should I say hi?

[@Streetorvintage]

yes!! pls do come up and talk to me! 😊

[@coolmonkey619]

how do you get such white teeth

[@PapaSeed]

Brush your teeth
