“En Junio acabé la carrera de ADE en una buena universidad, además hice 9 meses de prácticas en el departamento de contabilidad en una multinacional española, y hace un par de días empecé a trabajar en una inmobiliaria bastante conocida de business analyst como trainee cobrando 800€ brutos, pero a jornada completa, y duran las prácticas 6 meses, luego me dijeron que si están contentos ellos y yo ya se me haría contrato normal.
