summer analyst Review

- joining internal/external calls, - working on the project based on market compensation rules, -helping my team in their daily tasks using internal programs/websites

I undoubtedly enhanced hard skills including using Excel, Outlook, Powerpoint etc as well as different internal programs. As my team highly encouraged me to integrate with their daily tasks, I learnt a lot about the corporate actions and how the global market operates in the broader frame. Due to the challenges I was put into, I also developed many soft skills such as team-working, problem solving and communication skills.

I was introduced on majority of the issues that my team deals with in their daily tasks. I was responsible for matching payments, replying to our clients using information found by me or provided by my team. I really felt like I was given a lot of responsibility, although I could always rely on my colleague's help. Overall, it was a great learning environment.

I stayed in touch with my buddy as well as my manager on daily basis. I could always reach out not only to them, but also to other team-members and ask them any questions I had. Everyone was happy to schedule a meeting to explain various things, although they were really busy. I can truly say that the support and guidance I received during this internship was invaluable and I couldn't imagine it being better.

The atmosphere was great. Everyone across the division was really supportive and ready to answer any questions. I really enjoyed having morning huddles with my team, where everyone could make any announcements, say how they feel etc. From time to time, we were organising lunches together, or any other social events outside of the firm. The great part was also table tennis competitions for the members of the whole firm.

I believe this was a great experience that enhanced my career opportunities. Although I could find some aspects that could be improved, I think that overall I extremely enjoyed this summer placement.

Yes

I believe this company provides everything you can expect from the summer placement. My advice for future interns is to always be open to any opportunities that come across, meet as many people as possible, not only from the same team or division, but from the whole firm. Last but not least, don't worry about your skills or knowledge, as you will receive training and support on daily basis, just ask questions.
