Investment Analyst with Copal Amba Review

it was awesome and a life changing opportunity. I had very practical implementations of classroom lessons. I also gathered other experiences which I could not get in the UK

My work mates were awesome. Language was not a barrier at all as envisaged before joining. Work culture is very supportive without any politics. Senior Staff members are easily accessible and always welcomed suggestions.

As any Intern gets, I was allocated 3 supervisors, one from CIP, another external career adviser and then one from my host company. They have been very helpful in making sure I am mentored properly. with my Job descriptions and tasks I had massive assistance from the team. I know I had no experience prior to this internship so my expectations of my performance was no too high. But haven been through it all, I am better

The work environment is a busy one with tasks properly allocated. There are few breaks for me to walk around but there not so much empty moments. I worked just like a normal staff. I was motivated to meet targets as well so I sometimes voluntarily like to forgo my launch. I felt no stress at all

My responsibilities included the following: - Industry and capital market newsletters - Financial analysis - Trading comps - Transaction comps - Industry reports - Thematic studies - Capital structure analyses - Financial benchmarking - Technical Chinese-English / English-Chinese translation Through my internship, I have worked in all of these areas with deep insights

Coming back to UK, these skills will be very important in finishing my dissertations as I was able to add up so much valuable information than I started. My perspectives and purviews are wider now. I am waiting for my final year to. I have attended few interviews soon after arriving in UK to test my skills and it went well. I am confident that I will land very good jobs after graduation. MY Chinese language skills are also at Elementary level and that could be an added advantage

As I previously stated, work environment if full of support and team work. It is about what have we achieved together not what I have achieved

This company has been in control of the internship as they have so much experience dealing with it. Their internal mechanism have rom for feedback and corrections. The company hosted 23 interns from all over the world and we had access to senior staff for questions. Professionalism was key

The organization financed my training programs and also, I attended several seminars organized by the British and American Chambers of commerce these events were attended by high profiled expats and the company paid the chambers for me to be admitted.

There are numerous opportunities for interns to grab permanent positions. Within the 23 of us 3 were maintained because they had completed university. I did not accept any offer because I had to come back to the UK and complete Uni. I will say there are so much opportunities.

Yea this remind me of so much we did together. The company takes us to KTVs, Pubs, and other amusement centers on Friday nights. Some travels were also arranged time after time

Cost of living in Shanghai is definitely cheaper compered to London. Subways are very efficient means of transport and are cheaper than I could imagine anywhere in the world. Food is super cheap except that I would like to have some luxurious treats on holidays. 175 pounds was enough for the month on personal expenses without rent.

Night life was awesome!!!! Chinese love night life and I was able to blend that with work. I made cool friends in the process.

There were lots of opportunities for activities. CIP managed to put together some programs for all their interns. This is one of the best moments especially to meet all other program participants from around the world
