    The Role

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

    • My internship at BAML has been awesome. I learn every single day. I am so excited about the work and the people I work with. I love BAML's work life balance, even in Investment Banking, BAML still finds a way to ensure we get the best of the internship.

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

    • We were involved in activities and we were made to see how important our outputs were to the success of the work. We were put through a lot of training sessions. to me that screams VALUE. No one will invest in who they do not value.

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

    • Support and guidance in BAML is awesome. On resuming, one is allocated a buddy, a mentor, a development officer, a staffer all at your disposal to help. Also, I registered for a network an di was given another mentor to guide me. the support and guidance system is awesome.

  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • Living in London is expensive so I think it cuts across firms in London.

    3/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • investment banking interns had a cap of 10pm while other interns shuffled between 7pm and 9pm depending on their divisions. Plus if an investment banking intern closes by 10pm, you are entitled to a taxi ride.

    4/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • Yes oo. So many organized activities as well as networking groups.
