    Overview

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

    • As a Data intern, you work on 1 large project throughout the 10 weeks of your internship within your team. You also work on an FFM (Functions for the Market), which is a news story which also describes Bloomberg functions; this stays on the Bloomberg terminal forever. There were also many networking opportunities with Managers and Team leaders within Data, including quite senior people.

    Responsibilities

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

    • We were given responsibility to ask for help/guidance for our projects; we were not spoon-fed all the answers (which was good because it meant that I gained a lot of skills). We were also partially responsible for reaching out to others across the company to network. Our internship project was our main responsibility

  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

    • 5/5

    Support & Guidance

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

    • I received a great amount of guidance! There were Data Intern Coordinators who had somewhat pastoral roles and organised the whole structure of the internship for us. Within our team, we had a Buddy (pastoral role), a Mentor (more project focused), and our Team Leader and other team members were all there to help out if it was ever needed
