    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • I am happy to work in different industry teams (Metals&Mining, Oil&Gas etc..), and now I work on real privatization deal, which is really important for my country. What I do not like, is the level of tasks - I can do more complicated things, however I am given boring and easy tasks like "find this research", "do formating", "find these figures" and so on.

    • I sit with nice people, we do a good job together, however in investment banking business it's quite difficult to be a family.

    4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • I do not need to much guidance as have some experience, however if people have free time - they're happy to help.

    • Balance is not good, as in all IB business - you might sit all day and drink tea and at the evening receive a "present".

    3/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • The key thing I do not like in my internship - lack of serius tasks like modeling, valuation and so on. I do a lot of data mining, formating and so on.
