    • It was a fantastic opportunity to meet like-minded peers and some very interesting business representatives.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • I think we were all treated as potential candidates for joining the bank in the future, however it is difficult to say how valued I personally was, because the group of spring interns is quite big, more than 100 people.

    4/5

    • There were numerous skills sessions and networking opportunities, where we could ask any questions and learn as much as we wanted about the firm and the industry.

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

    • It definitely provided explanation of what the different divisions do, however it was still quite hard to decide which role would be most suited to me after just 3 days and not having the time to talk a lot to some areas as there were so many of us.
