Role Description

My main responsibilities included general admin and assistance at the desk as well as creating spreadsheets and taking part in general analysis of bonds and markets. I was able to keep up with the news and shadow the members of my team to learn as much as possible because everybody was so helpful, so I could ask as many questions as I liked.
