    The Role

    • Was a really enjoyable experience; challenging whilst learning a lot every day.

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

    • As an intern there is only so much you can do and so a limit to how much you can actually add value, but this can be done in a number of ways; you just have to find them!

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

    • Two different rotations; each very different with different management styles. It depends on which desks you rotate on.

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

    • Very busy every day. Even in quiet periods you can shadow other desks so it is as busy as you make it.

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

    • I sent out daily emails that were seen by clients so it that respect a fair amount but nothing deal changing as you would imagine.

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

    • I don't think the skills learnt correlate with university studies but as far as expertise in this industry goes it is clearly very, very worthwhile.
