Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The week is split between Analytics and sales: 2 days in analytics and 3 days in sales. In analytics is much about trainings on the terminal and solving most common clients' requests; while, in sales is much about calling and meeting clients. Moreover, you have to work on 4 main projects with your sales team along the whole internship.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The sales team gives you immediately a lot of confidence; indeed, since the start you get the chance to call clients and book meetings with them. This is an incredible opportunity to make the terminal knowledge at work and gain confidence in your negotiation skills.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Analytics: is all about training, so you get a lot of support.
Sales: is much more about interacting with the clients and learning very quickly. For instance, on Friday you get a very brief overview of a new function and you need to be able to call clients and pitch those functions

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I enjoyed because it really pushes you beyond your limits. You get the chance to work at many many things at once and in order to survive in such environment you need to develop new skills, such as multitasking. Thus, I really enjoyed this process of learning and improving. On top of this, possibility to meet so great people was incredible, especially among the intern class
