This week, our amazing Career and Mindset Lead, Mili, visited our current TR4 programme returners at our hiring partner Deutsche Bank's London office.
π¬ Here's what she had to say about the experience.
"It was amazing to meet our returners on Monday and join them for an insightful meeting at Deutsche Bank!
We got to understand how Deutsche Bank's tech teams operate, heard about all the innovations happening internally, and learned how software engineers like the returners can contribute to their thriving organisation. Now, weβre back to exploring test-driven development with James and getting ready for the next phase of our programme: interview preparation."
