Investment Banking Summer Analyst Review

Mostly consists of powerpoint and excel. Updating PowerPoint decks for marketing pitches with new information and proprietary data, as well as improving and refining formatting. Financial modelling in Excel and data aggregation.

Yes, the responsibility I was given increased slowly as the weeks went on. I went from having my tasks checked my two people to submitting work directly to seniors and clients.

Yes, I developed my attention to detail a significant amount, as well as my endurance and ability to multi task. My interpersonal skills were developed a lot too as it is a people facing business.

I had regular catch ups with my staffer, as well as a mid term and end of internship review. HR also offered lots of support sessions throughout the internship which were very helpful and available to all the interns.

The culture is collaborative and there is a strong emphasis on everyone helping each other out by sharing materials and harnessing their previous experience doing a similar task.
There is also a culture of doing work to the very best standard possible, which starts at the top and filters down.

I enjoyed it very much, whilst it was hard work, I learned a lot and I put a lot of effort in to get the most out of it.
I enjoyed working with my colleagues and enjoyed a social aspect too.

Yes
