Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

I worked with python and typescript. Also gained an insight to the finance world, which was something I wanted getting into the job. I learned a lot from my internship and the team that I was assigned. The got to experience the whole development lifecycle and real world product development.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I would say I was given enough responsibility during my internship. They won't give you more than what you can handle but just enough to get you out of your comfort zone and learn. Which I really appreciated. Plus help was right there when you needed it.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Yes. My python skills prior to Bloomberg's internship was limited to leetcode questions. But during my internship, I got to work with python to develop solutions. The same goes for typescript. Even though, I have worked with Angular in the past, my typescript knowledge was limited. In addition to these, I got to work with Docker.
