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

    • I believe there was a very good balance as I had time to think before I started solving a problem. Every day was quite challenging and I always had something to do. If I finished my job earlier, one of my colleagues would give me something to do.

    5/5
  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?

    • I think I was given quite a lot of responsibility, especially when I had to interact with seniors in the company and started working on some new projects.

    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 skills developed at J.P.Morgan will certainly help me in my future career and some of the technical skills will be useful in my 3rd year at university.
