The Role
Extremely enjoyable, great learning experience and great exposure to a new line of business within banking
was given more and more responsibility as the internship progressed - however, all of my work was always double checked which i guess is normal if it then has to be sent to a client
the team was always available to explain anything I didn't understand or dive deeper into a topic if I wanted to learn more
very busy
was given more and more responsibility as the internship progressed.
hopefully I will receive an offer and therefore the skills will be of direct relevance! but even if i don't, in this experience i learned things which can be applicable to any line of business within a bank - from modelling skills to communication skills to technical skills
