The Role
Overall I would highly recommend this internship for anyone looking to go into weatlh management &/or private banking. I was given lots of support from colleagues in the office and there was rearely a dull moment.
Everyone was very friendly from Day 1 right to the end and involved me in all of their outside of office events
Always willing to answer questions and very open to my feedback - allowed me to shape the internship around what I wanted to do and ensured that I was given the opportunities to do so. Also proactive in engaging other people in the business to spend time with me
A lot more than I was expecting - got to run projects which spanned the entire department
