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

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

    • During a couple of weeks I did have too much staffings and I felt that I could have done more, however the business is volatile and I fully understood that there wasnt to much I could do at the moment. However I expresses my concern that I felt understaffed and my staffer made sure that the later part of my internship was more busy than the first part.

    • In the secon half of my internship I was in charge of building a valuation model, more or less from scratch. I was truly a challenge and I enjoyed it very much.
