Overview
In the analytics department I take care of clients problems with the terminal, helping with their questions and upskilling him by conducting product calls. Second part of the job was sales oriented. I had to reach out to clients to pitch new functions and research related to their player type and workflow. Booking meetings and building relationships was part of the role.
Skills
I have learned a lot about the Bloomberg terminal and it's many functionalities, from news coverage and research analysis to trading and valuation. I have also learned more about programming applications for the terminal and excel, including BQL, BQNT and other APIs. On the other hand, I also expanded my sales skills by learning different techniques and approaches when dealing with clients.
Responsibilities
I was given the right amount of responsibilities during the internship. In Sales I was always guided by my mentors but they also let me do my job and gave me enough responsibilities to call clients and go to meetings. In analytics I shadowed my mentors and they showed me their daily work.
Support & Guidance
During my internship, I received support from many different people across the organization. First of all, my mentors were always ready to help me if needed. Moreover, also the other interns were very collaborative and eager to help, as well as all the employees, who were always open to explain new things and let us shadow them.

Your Impressions
I really liked my internship. It has been a very insightful program where I had the opportunity to know the company, the product and the daily activities very well. This internship made me develop very good soft skills since I became better at presenting myself, making more meaningful connections and work proactively with my teammates in our project.
Yes
My advice to people applying to Bloomberg is to be proactive, curious, and try to build your network as soon as possible, trying to include people from other departments. You will have to search for opportunities and try to catch them. Moreover, try to discover what other departments do and what you like the most, because in Bloomberg there are a lot of different things you can do!
