Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I worked within an sector themed research team, focusing on producing research for equities within this sector both on a singular level and a thematic level. Day to day the role consisted of financial modelling, presenting ideas, creating research and following movements in publicly traded equities.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, we had the opportunity to produce individual presentations on our work and present these. Then you are given an individual project which you do in tandem with the group work which is more collaborative. These individual aspects give you more chance to take on responsibility.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
