    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Summer Analyst in the Energy & Power team - Generally supporting the team by working on live deals (including lots of PowerPoint and excel tasks) and carrying out research to prepare briefing materials.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • There’s a chute learning curve. Even coming from an Economics background, I was amazed by how much I learnt in such a short period of time. Rothschild & Co give incredible exposure to junior staff, meaning that it’s the best environment to begin your career in. I massively improved my time management and efficiency, as well as technical Excel and accounting skills.
