Hi everyone, I'm meeting my trainee buddy for my vacation scheme in the coming week (before the scheme actually starts) and am currently preparing a question bank. Would love if anyone has any ideas about what else I can ask, or feels that any of these questions are inappropriate.

These are the questions I have so far.

About work:
How is your seat programme structured? What seat are you currently in?
What has been your favourite seat so far? What do you like about it?
What kind of tasks do you do on a day to day basis?
Most memorable deal you’ve worked on, if you’re allowed to share about it?
Why do you like this firm?
Have you done any secondments to clients' or overseas offices?
Advice on preparing for the scheme?
About other things:
Where are you from?
Do you like working from home? How do you feel about the new remote working policies?
What is the social life at the firm like? Pre-covid and now?
How do you like the food provided at the firm? Good restaurants near the firm?
Did you do a vacation scheme with this firm too? How did you find it?
Can we schedule regular catch-ups?

Also if anyone has any tips on figuring out who you want to set up virtual coffee chats with? Should I just contact anyone (not the higher-ups of course) that seems to do something interesting?
