The Role
After I was able to demonstrate to my team that I could hundle the job, I started receiving more and more responsibilities. During my internship, I was given the responsibility many times to prepare materials which where directly going to clients.
During my internship I was excel my analytical and financial skills as well as to develop strong organizational, time management and communication skills. All these are skills which are applicable to any job within the finance field and in many positions outside the finance field. Also are skills which make my life in university easier and allow me to have some more free time.

The Culture
I decided to stay close to the Bank for various reasons. The cost of living was slightly higher as compared with other EU countries.
Yes, around the Bank there are enough places where you can spend part of your free time.
