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

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

    • Invaluable. Market awareness gained, especially thanks to having our own Bloomberg terminal. Skills you can't learn elsewhere.
