    5/5

    5/5

    • My buddy, mentor, and development officer were all incredibly supportive and available.

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

    • The work-life balance was very good. The 55-hour weekly cap limited sometimes the activity as it did not allow to assist the team after 8pm.

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

    • I feel I was given as much responsibility as possible considering the short duration of the internship, the virtual nature of it, and the limited access to MNPI.

    4/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • What I learned in these few weeks will have an invaluable impact on my financial background knowledge.
