    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • It is a great place to do an internship. This year we are 10 interns so we have a great exposure. People you meet remember you and you can actually go and speak to them whenever you want.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • On my desk, you can easily go and speak to the head of desk, for any reason. People are really open.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Since the internship occurs during the summer, the activity is logically slower since lots of market participants are on holidays. But still, I am always occupied with a task withoiut being overwhelmed.

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • A few assignments I had to do were tools that the team would use so it is quite a responsibility to make sure that everything is perfect.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The insight provided during 2 months is great. The initial training is very useful. Then you discover several desks and get to understand how an investment bank works.

    5/5

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?

    • First there is a training during the first week where you learn a lot. Then during the internship there are Lunch and Learn sessions that allows you to learn about other desks, other products. You learn all the time in here
