Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role involved supporting associates and directors in the deal making process. I sometimes had to work on decks for client meetings, other times I did client research, as well as data gathering. I used excel and powerpoint the most in my role. In addition to this I worked on several internship projects designed to develop my understanding of the corporate bank.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, I was given responsability through working on several impactful projects which relied on me to deliver a good result.
