The Role
I enjoyed my internship very much, particularly the interactions I had with experienced bankers.
While bankers are obviously extremely busy, I appreciated that they took the time out to discuss our questions with us.
I was given very detailed and useful guidance on my case study exercise.
Some days were busier than others. I felt that a large part of the internship was concentrated in two weeks.
None for actual work as we were not allowed to work with material non-public information. We were given full autonomy over our case study, however.
Through the case study exercise, I developed my soft skills and improved on my technical knowledge.
The Company
Working from home
The Culture
As much as possible in this current environment.
