    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • We were assigned to a desk during 10 days and had a project for the desk. We could also work for other desks during our rotations. We also had trainings during the 10 weeks and many conferences and meetings with HR or employers.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • For sure, I learned to organise tasks, multitask and pay attention to details. It was also interesting to the environment in a trading floor and see how people deal with risk and work under pressure.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • We were not given responsibilities as we could be given during an off-cycle. However, it allowed us to see the day-to-day tasks of a desk globally and we could network with many people.


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
