    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My role involved assisting current employees with tasks on a day-to-day basis and getting to learn more about the firm as well as the business. Some of the tasks allocated to me were: conducting research into companies/industries, financial modelling and creating pitchbooks. I also took part in a CSR challenge where I raised money with other interns for a good cause. In my spare time I networked and spoke to people across NatWest.
