    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • My internship at Bank of America Merrill Lynch was an amzing ride. I will love to re-live this experience over and over again.

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

    • My colleagues were phenomenal. Being from Africa, I did not feel any less respected by my colleagues or disrespected at all. We had a lot of fun and we worked hard too.

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

    • My manager was a very helpful person. He provided me with guidance when I needed it the most. One thing he told me was he would allow me to try and find solutions as much as I can. Once I hit a dead-end then he would step in.
