    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • As an intern I had the opportunity to rotate across two teams in the Financing Solutions programme. In my first rotation, my day mainly consisted of me asking for opportunities to get involved and help the team out so I did a lot of Excel work, making PowerPoints and presenting them, and research tasks. In my second rotation I did similar work but I also had a desk project. I typically had some networking chats throughout the day as well.
