    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • 5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?

    • 4/5
  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?

    • My manager's help was crucial ! Not only did he introduce me to BlackRock business, to what the specific department does, but also he was a bridge for the connections I managed to make during the internship. He explained very clear everything, he got me involved in as much as possible, he gave me responsabilities, and I think having such a helpful manager is key in an internship.
