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

    • Lots of responsibilities Went to meetings, was offered to speak Went to a meeting with my MD and in front of us: CEO, CFO and CTO. They discussed strategy Also worked on 2 books with no guidance from an analyst/associate It was the honor of my life! Also worked on 3 live-deals

    • BEST INTERNSHIP EVER! - have given me confidence - this is a place where I could spend my career in - have learnt more than ever before - people here are all super nice - they are not afraid to give responsibilities.
