    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?

    • Internship has been overall a very good experience. I haven't done anything like it before so have nothing to compare the experience to, however as a first time experience Bloomberg has been brilliant. I feel as though it has been well organised and lots of opportunities have been made available to show skills and build new ones.
