    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    • I work within the Structured Solutions - helping with research risks of shares within well known companies. I have had to give a macro summary of US and Asian markets twice weekly. I have had to do lots of excel work including reports that are sent out weekly. I have had to work with VBA macros and submitted prices daily.

    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

    • Yes and no - it varied within each team I worked in. It was just the right amount of responsibility as I think anymore would have put too much pressure on my work.

  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
