Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Mainly involved in work requests from the client team, involving using software to update assumptions about clients. A lot of excel/Exodus( the company software for client information) was used. Worked on a summer intern project which was presented at the end of the internship.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, after the first couple weeks we were given responsibility of the work we were doing and having meetings with different members within the company about the work. This was a great experience to have been given so much independence.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
