Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Currently working in the credit sales team, this involves providing notes and summaries of different internal meetings suggesting best actions for the sales team depending on requirements from traders. The role also requires me to suggest trade ideas from the team and pitch certain trades I think will be profitable.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I would say I was given an adequate amount of responsibility given restrictions on some processes within this business area that I can have direct involvement in as an intern. Although, I feel that as the internship goes on I have been given more responsibility.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
