    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • I really enjoyed my time at Citi. I was pleasantly surprised by the sales role that I covered as it is not your typically sales job. You have to conduct in-depth market analysis to produce a strategy for the sales team to implement and develop as a consequence of not winning over previous clients. I found it very stimulating and the people here are great. Great culture and I would love to come back full time.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
  • I have developed my interpersonal skillset by interacting with people of all ages ranging from analysts my age to managing directors. I also developed my analytical skillset by conducting market research for the strategy and presentation skills to be able to effectively communicate my findings.
