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

    • The training week as well as continuous training throughout the internship taught me so much effective and practical things. It was a great help as university only prepares you for broad knowledge.

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

    • The atmosphere in our team was great, and I could say the same for the whole building as the Rothschild culture is very strong. Atmosphere between the interns was also exceptional as we are a small group of interns than in other institutions.

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