    The Role

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

    • Really enjoyable. BAML did a great job of showcasing the different aspects of the business, putting on events and getting interns to interact. For anyone looking to take their first steps into banking, the BAML spring week is perfect for allowing students to evaluate their options and get a feel for the company.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • There were lots of talks from senior staff who were more than happy to take questions.

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

    • The week was really well organised. All the Campus team were really helpful and approachable.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • BAML fitted a lot into the days, it was well balanced.

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

    • Group work and a presentation we worked towards gave us all the opportunity to take responsibility. Lots of events were talk/ seminar based, however, there were plenty of oppotunities to ask questions. Given the fact the spring week is only a week long, the amount of responsibility was about right.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • Met some great people, excellent networking opportunities and was offered some really important advice on developing a career in banking.

    5/5

    5/5
  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
