  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • Many responsibilities when I compare to other banks I interned at. Also, given the internship is a short placement (only ten weeks), I thought I would be given much less responsibilities. I helped my deal teams on most of the aspects of the deals.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The first week was incredibly useful: HR had organised a week of training with Fitch Learning professionals who taught us many useful things, from Excel basics to Analyst best-practices. When we joine dour teams after the training, we were operational from day 1!
