The student currently on his IY at Sophos has mailed to say they have advertised the IY positions for next year (see below). It raises the interesting point about remote working. In general I believe it is better to have at least some face-to-face in-the-office time for an industrial year job. However the work landscape is changing fast and remote working is being adopted by some companies and industries. A lot depends on the level of support the company provides. For employers that provide great support and monitoring and for people who have the self discipline and won’t go crazy working ‘alone’ for extended periods it can work, however remote working does not suit everyone so before anyone accepts a 100% remote working IY position you need to talk to me (nns@ber.ac.uk) and discuss it.
I am currently on my placement year with Sophos, I wanted to let you know that placements for 2024 are available with the deadline being quite soon:

My experience so far has been brilliant and I recommend them highly for the support I’ve been given.
One thing to note, is that although it will most likely be a fully remote position, the support from my team has been great but it might not suit everyone.
