    The Role

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

    • This is an impactful and valuable experience from both a personal and professional perspective. I have been working closely to people with years of experience in the field and always very available to share their opinions and explain the less intuitive concepts, I have definitely been spending challenging but at the same time enjoyable months (almost eight months now) at the bank.

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

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

    • The team has been always very happy to provide guidance and support, answering my questions and occasionally having individual meetings to catch-up on my progresses or doubts.

    5/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Being part of the Investment Grade DCM Origination Team for public entities (SSA) is an insightful experience that is giving me the chance to learn a lot as "our" clients access the capital markets very frequently and the team is keeping them updated on market developments, giving recommendations and sharing ideas almost on a daily basis.
