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

    • Lots of responsibility from day 1. I have been shown how to compile the reports on my two first days, and was assigned to do the rest directly by my own. However I could always seek for assistance in case of need.

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

    • Since I am planning to take Finance courses on my last year of my Economic degree, I believe that this internship will help a lot. On the first week of the internship, we had the great opportunity to have a full week of training/study/exam (approx 10 hours a day), which gave us a great start, specially for those who have never taken finance courses before.
