  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?

    • The 10-week Internship Program was very well-organised. It was structured in a way, that provided interns with everything needed. Before the start of rotations, two trainings were organised. One was an external and the other one was held by the internal employees of the Bank. Both were extremely useful since we all had a chance to deepen our knowledge in certain areas. While during the internship itself, interns had an opportunity to participate in various other events, panel sessions, trading games, networking events, breakfasts/lunches with senior representatives, volunteering events and learning sessions.

    The Culture

  • 12. Was there a good social scene amongst any fellow placement students/colleagues?

    • Yes, in my opinion the environment within the bank was so supportive that it turned to be the same within the intern pool.

    3/5
  • 13. What was the cost of living and socialising in the area you worked in?

    • The living costs: average monthly rent within walking distance from the office in a student residence stood at 1000 Pounds. Socialising costs: depends on your interests and how often you go out. However, it should be similar to any other area in London.

    5/5
  • 14. What was the Nightlife like in the area you worked?

    • There is a big variety of different pubs, clubs, so there is something for everyone's taste.

    3/5
  • 15. Were there many opportunities to get involved in activities outside of work?

    • London is a great city to live and work in. There are plenty of things to do and see. The location is especially so central, that one could go for a weekend very easily to any country or just do a day-trip.
