    The Role

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

    • I was a really good experience which enabled me to realize what working on financial markets really involves

    4/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • It's highly team dependent but some of the desks really made me "feel at home" and in general people are really willing to share their experience

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

    • Once again, it depends on the people but in general supervisors are willing to help you meet as many people as possible and make the best out this opportunity

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

    • Depends on the days but I was really busy all the time

    4/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I was given my own projects with liberty to handle it the way I wanted but no real responsibilities (though it's normal since I did not have any of the necessary certifications)

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • What I learnt on my internship will definitely help me extensively in the course of my studies to come (especially fixed income classes)
