Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Helping with the desk usually daily business which involves the inputting and managing of data onto various systems ensuring that all systems match and there are no breaks. Wok involved creating and setting up counterparty accounts, SSIs and the different instruments traded.

I was given plenty of responsibility. I was working on relevant work that made a difference to the team on day 1 and was always given the opportunity to do the work required myself - never not given work. I was also able to ask for more work / responsibility if I saw that I would like so.

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend MUFG to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to MUFG
To not worry if you do not know what business area you are most fond of. You have the opportunity to speak to whoever you want in any division. Everyone understands that you are at the beginning of your career and if anything they will help guide you in the direction you think you might want / think would suit you.
Make the most of the resources around whilst you are on the internship.
