A visit to KPMG

Hello everyone! 

A bit of a late post for this, but I went to KPMG! It was on Wednesday last week, and I had so much fun! I never thought I would be excited to go to a company building such as, but I was! 

If you're confused on why I went to the KPMG company building (if it's even called that) it's because my school is somehow a business school and it's sponsored by companies in London and one of its sponsors is KPMG. At the start of the second term this year I joined CCB, which is basically a group of students who learn furthermore about business and how it works. We had to get interviewed to get in and surprisingly I did. My interview was absolutely nerve-wracking as I can only remember one interview that I'd done before and funnily enough it was to get into the school.

Back to the topic, on the way to KPMG was so much fun and interesting because it was in Canary Wharf and near the Canada Square building which was SUCH an accomplishment to finally see as I've always seen it from our school view but never seem to have been to it. Now I have. 

The visit consisted of an introduction to the company and how they work, a tour around the building, lunch, and business-related activities. Of course, my favourite part was lunch. No I'm joking, it was everything. I loved the way I walked past like 50 business people on their phones or doing something that distracts them from the world and they actually stopped to say hi or wave. I also love the way KPMG is right in the middle of a very busy, very business-y place so I got to feel that business atmosphere. It was awesome.

I feel really grateful that I get to do these things and do so for free. It really opens up the future for me and I am so overwhelmed by the opportunities to come!

See you, 

Allysa
