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

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

    • Very supportive manager - I keep in constant contact with her and she is always ready to give up her time to help me with my project or set me up with work-shadowing if I need

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

    • I was given 3 main projects and 2 smaller projects to do in the 10 weeks alongside work-shadowing, networking events, talks, volunteering opportunities and more.

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

    • I felt responsible for my own work but due to compliance and regulatory issues, we weren't allowed to get involved in BAU (business as usual) tasks. However, it is important to demonstrate self-motivation in situations where you have to plan your own project and ask for more responsibility where necessary - which Citi will gladly give you.

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

    • I developed a Gantt chart to keep track of my projects and progress, which I can use later in my degree to help me with time management
