    The Role

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

    • Very intense. For me, too many distractions on the programme that take you away from doing what really matters and spending time on the desks that you want to work on - however I really love the firm.

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • Depends on the desk you are on and the skills such as excel, vba that you either know or you don't before you start the programme.

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

    • Depends on the desk.

    3/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Very busy, hardly much sleep

    1/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • Lots of work.

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

    • If i was to continue a career in finance, the awareness of skills to develop is crucial. Outside of finance, perhaps not so much.

    5/5
