    The Role

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

    • Great people. Got given a lot of responsibility, as well as good exposure to the business outside of my team.

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

    • People are extremely friendly but also extremely busy in deal-based teams. You do need to reach out proactively to get to meet people, although everyone is very open and willing to help.

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

    • Always able to turn to my manager, team members and people within the business both for internship-related advice and career advice overall. Most people go out of their way to help you

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

    • I was in a deal-based team so working hours could vary between 8:30am-7:30pm to more relaxed days that were 8:30am-6pm.

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

    • Given the level of skills and knowledge I had, I would say I was given quite a lot of responsibility - meeting management and doing presentations for the team
