    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • Incredible! It is true that I do prefer physical interaction - it seems to me that the team bonds better. However, given the situation with the global pandemic and the consequent virtual internship, I loved the way it was organised. J.P. Morgan managed to overcome the potential struggles that might appear when there are no real interactions. They enhanced human relationships and built a welcoming working environment.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • One could think that because everything was done virtually, praise and recognition could not be as well expressed as in the office, through physical interactions (one can tell a lot from body language). Yet, because the firm encouraged everyone to give and ask for constant feedback, there was a continuous share of thoughts - everyone was aware that feelings had to verbalised in order for them to be clear. Thus, when someone did a good job, this was explicitly highlighted. Consequently, yes, I did feel valued by my colleagues.

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • We had several managers and supervisors: 2 managers: one more involved than the other, but these two were no as attentive as the Project Manager. Project Advisor: she was caring, supportive and motivated the team. She was clear in her messages, always spotted an opportunity for improvement and saw the best in everyone. She was a good leader, manager and advisor. Mentor: she was sharp, always knew what you need and felt before you even knew.

    5/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • On average, quite busy, but this is because I loved the projects I was involved in, and thus tried to push myself further.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • From my managers, it was all quite equal - we were all given the same amount of work, responsibility. However, I tried and organise other events, and thus, as I was in charge, more responsibility was added.

    4/5

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Perhaps not academically, as my degree is completely different to what I did during the internship. However, in terms of soft skills (presentation skills, communication, ...), I feel the internship helped me a lot.
