Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Day to day role depends on what intern project was given. My project involved pulling data with SQL into excel for more analysis/strategy and making presentations. Lots of meetings with people in and outside my team to understand what database to pull form, understanding terminology, getting ideas for project etc. Other projects might be less strategy and more technical, involving modelling etc with Python.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, all intern projects are completely lead by interns. I had the freedom to take it in whatever direction
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
