Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I assisted the team with credit risk modelling for banking clients. This involved getting familiar with SAS and Alteryx, which were new programming languages at the time. The role also involves heavy use of excel for documentation. I attended frequent trainings on the insurance, banking and corporate/government markets.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given direct client code review tasks, allowing me to make a real contribution since day one.
