    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

    • As a part of both rotations - networking is key to get up to speed on the product and the market that it operates in. Once you are up to speed here there is plenty of opportunity to work on live deals and to even contribute to client interactions.

    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

    • Soft skills have developed significantly from the insight into the city - in particular communication and networking. I have also developed my technical skills significantly being exposed to financial analysis and the origination as well as complete deal processes/structures.

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

    • Yes - I got to work on client deals and pitches and had autonomy for my own work.

    Support & Guidance

  • 4. How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

    • The support was extremely helpful - coming from a non-finance background, it was invaluable to hear how everyone understood their work. People took a lot of time out to help and explain things to me.

  • How would you rate the support and guidance from your line manager?

    • 5/5
  • How would you rate the support and guidance from the wider team?

    • 5/5

    Culture

  • 5. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

    • The culture was standout for me - I felt accepted and welcomed from day one and could ask for any help I needed. There is a very flat organisational structure so I could interact with the heads of my team directly.

  • How would you rate the inclusiveness of the culture?

    • 5/5
  • How would you rate the social opportunities?

    • 5/5

    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

    • This summer has been extremely enjoyable - Providing an experience I'll never forget. Coming out of COVID-19 I initially was nervous and worried about working in an office - especially within this industry but the support and time given by colleagues was not what I expected at all!

  • 7. Would you recommend MUFG to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to MUFG

    • It’s normal to get nervous applying to internships but I think most people perform best when they can remain calm. To do this I’d recommend reading the role requirements in depth and doing as much research and preparation as you can, then as you progress through the application process you will be able to be genuine and comfortable.
