Not coming from a technology background and applying for this apprenticeship, at first seemed like a leap of faith. However, I can now proudly say that it’s a leap of faith I do not regret one bit.
I can boldly say that everybody in Deutsche bank is willing to extend a handout to help you and include you with anything going on, even outside of the office.
So far, the experience has been wonderfully eye opening and I urge anyone who feels hesitant to take that leap of faith also.
