Experience in Erasmus+ Traineeship in the United Kingdom

Askar Makhmetov

I would like to share with you my experience in Erasmus+ Traineeship in the United Kingdom.
I did my traineeship at Storm-7 Consulting Limited and it was my first time living in the UK. Starting from the first days, our management and young energetic team supported me during all time being here.
I was Legal analyst at this Company and I covered a broad range of legal, regulatory compliance, operational, and strategic areas. This included areas such as developing a highly comprehensive understanding of multiple regulatory compliance frameworks; understanding of Front Office and Operations in the banking and financial services sector; understanding of types of firms operating within the banking, financial services, RegTech, and FinTech sectors, etc.
I met here professionals and interesting people from all Europe. This traineeship provided tremendous opportunities for expanding my network. During the traineeship, I improved my professional skills and English language skills.
Also, living here, I became acquainted with the culture and history of England, I saw local traditions and customs, architecture. And I really fell in love with the local pubs and famous English Fish and Chips twice.
It was the brightest period in my life and I will always remember it.
