Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day to day basis, I was networking with other interns and colleagues within the bank, attending client meetings specific team and helping my managers with their own individual projects. Also had time to work on a business project with other interns to deliver to our line managers by the end of the internship.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Although this may vary depending on which team within commercial banking you are placed within, the responsibility I had was collecting data, helping in research etc. Main responsibility was to learn as much about the bank through colleague meetings and self led learning.
