Overview
Daily tasks varied depending on amount of live deals. Mainly gathering information regarding companies through either annual reports or Factset. Worked closely with analyst and associate on team but occasionally also meeting with VPs. Client interactions only during meetings when entire team was present, I never spoke during those
Skills
Yes, financial modelling and improved excel and presentation skills
Responsibilities
I was given surprisingly much responsibility, as a few analysts went on vacation and I took over a large part of their workload.
Support & Guidance
A lot, from team members.
Culture
General atmosphere was very friendly yet professional. We had a few events dispite of the pandemic which I truly enjoyed
Your Impressions
Really enjoyed my work, team and overall culture. Would say that the internship exceeded most of my expectations. I'm happy to go back
Yes
Make sure you show passion for the field, by keeping up to date with events in the industry and Barclays as a company. Ask questions regarding things you are curious about and be yourself
