    The Role

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

    • During my time at Bloomberg I was gradually given responsibilities when my superiors felt that I was ready for them. The nature of work also appealed to me as it was a mixture of projects, classroom training, shadowing and working as part of the team.
