Yup, good old Baulko.
Are you in a cadetship atm? What is it like?
Cool- more Baulko guys in our firm would be great. There's surprisingly a lot of Baulko ppl around.
It's a pretty good environment to be in. It's kindof like school as someone pointed out- you can do the basics and get through, or you can volunteer and do lots of random things like organising social functions and coming up with ways to keep the team together such asaway days, treasure hunts across the city, dinner parties, random competitions (this is how we ended up with a foosball table), etc...
Ultimately though you need to be interested in the core business and work that you'll be doing. It's quite difficult to explain but it's nowhere near as bad or as boring as the stereotypes would suggest. It surprised even me. And psh, everyone on BoS said we'd get to make coffee and photocopy all day- no such luck!
Hardest bit would have to be getting used to the time. Waking up early (taking into account where we lived if we studied at Baulko), and having to stay awake for a good chunk of the day, and then coming home at like 6pm, that was pretty hectic for someone like me who was used to having ample hours of sleep and not being required to be "always on".
