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

    • I was given a lot of responsibility, which definitely helped with learning as much information as I did during the placement

    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 hope that I will pursue a degree in finance, in which this internship will prove invaluable. My degree is not at all finance related so that will not apply as much.

    • As Citi is in London, the accommodation is more expensive but I knew that starting the internship.

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

    • Bars were always open when we left work so there was a nice atmosphere to get involved in and offered opportunities to socialise with other interns.

    • There were many team days organised by the Recruitment Team and lots of events such as a 'Community Day' that we could all get involved in.
