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

    • Unfortunately the itming of my placement wasn't ideal, the team had had a few leavers so were very thin on the ground, although I did not see my manager a lot he was very useful in providing contacts for areas in the bank. The team as a whole was very supportive and I couldn't fault anyone.

    4/5
  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?

    • Some days were much busier than others, depending on work flows. I could have had more in some weeks but I always managed to find work, even if it meant working for different teams.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

  • 9. In terms of personal training and development, to what extent did the company or firm invest in you?
