    The Role

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

    • My supervisor was great! He helped me out whenever I faced issues and ensured I had a good time at JPMorgan. He was always willing to discuss different ideas and approaches to solve a problem. Moreover, he provided a lot of tips that really helped me throughout the internship.

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

    • I was really really busy because the project involved a lot of extra research and studying up on my behalf. I must say this isn't a negative because I learnt a lot in the process but it would have been great to find a balance between work and play.

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

    • I was given a lot of responsibility. I led the project from start to end and regularly met my clients to discuss the progress.

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

    • I believe this platform allowed me to express the skills I learnt at university and at the same time build up on new skills that I was not able to learn at uni. The work is great and I believe it is challenging which means it allows an individual to grow.
