    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • Split between spending 2 days in analytics and 3 days in sales. In Analytics you learn about the BBG terminal and all the asset classes on a fundamental level, training received by a range of BBG employees. Learn about customers, the helpdesk to solve their queries as well as being assigned two group projects. In Sales, you are assigned a Sales team, learn how to interact with clients, find their interests and challenges, book and shadow client meetings and work in 2 group projects.
