    Overview

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

Rotation 2: capital structuring. Researching company esg reports, creating excel charts, formatting slides, working on group projects.


    Skills

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

    Responsibilities

  • 3. Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
  • On my first rotation limited responsibility, mainly as we weren’t allowed to work on any live deals. On my second rotation it feels like a lot more. All the research on company reporting I’ve done has been for client presentations etc so I can see the work I have done going to use.


  • Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
