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

    • I was responsible for my workload so it was up to me to choose how many projects I could take on. In order to make the most of my internship, I did not hesitate to help on many different tasks but I always made sure I would be able to meet my commitments.

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

    • I am convinced that the skills I developed during my internship at Citi will assist me beyond my studies as I would very much like to work permanently in the division I interned in.

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The cost of living is relatively high in London but there are lots of opportunities to socialise outside the office: Canary Wharf has plenty of restaurants and bars where people working in the area meet up after work.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There are many bars in Canary Wharf but people usually go elsewhere afterwards.

    2/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Full-time analysts rarely work during the weekends so it was the same for interns.
