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

    • I was given a fair bit of responsibility but obviously it must be appreciated you will know fairly nothing so this has to be regulated. I was working in a very specialist area aswell so I couldnt take as much responsibility as much as maybe id of liked to.

    • There opportunity is there should you wish to take it as a referral onto the graduate programme is the overall aim which is achievable/

    4/5

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • My office wasnt the most sociable of offices but i know of other areas in the bank which are more social. Also all interns are encouraged to network and many of them are social. To be honest this was probably a fault on my part of not putting myself out there as much more than a problem with the bank.

    4/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • I worked in Liverpool st London so obviously your going to be paying a premium as its London at the end of the day. This was okay for me as i lived about 20 minutes away but ive heard of some shocking stories from interns commuting and renting in London. However this is London and you cant do much about that.

    4/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • Londons London.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Fair amount of opportunities. Again its really about how much you wana put yourself out there.
