Jenny McBrideHOST
So how did you kind of break down your FE1 journey and how you would approach how you would tackle them?

Anna O'DohertyGUEST
Yeah, so it was actually during my internship, I was speaking to one of the partners here and I'd explained that I'd love to travel and live abroad for a little while before starting my traineeship.

Anna O'DohertyGUEST
And she said it was a good idea to do that in advance of the traineeship beginning.

Anna O'DohertyGUEST
So I decided I was going to try to balance travel and living abroad and working full time with doing the FU1s so I could kind of do everything at once.

Anna O'DohertyGUEST
So I would 100% recommend if you don't have a time limit and if you want to kind of prioritize other things at the same time to spread out the sittings.

Jenny McBrideHOST
What would you say are the kind of the biggest misconceptions about the FE1 and what was your experience?
