I liked that the simulation gave me a feel for what the day-to-day work of a first-year tax associate may look like. It helped me better understand how research, Excel, problem-solving, and tax calculations can all work together in real projects. I also liked that the tasks felt realistic and hands-on instead of just reading information.
