    • 5/5
  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • The internship built a very strong foundational skill set for my future career. Compared to other internships of similar nature I had responsibility from day one and the opportunity to spend time with other desks if I wanted to. In my opinion there would be no better place to start a career in markets due to the very collaborative culture and the rapid expansion of the business!
