Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
My project was a real project, not a made up one, so I felt that I had responsibility. I was given tasks to analyse on a deep level, deep diving from a centurion line level to cardmember level, looking at generational and tenure behaviours.

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I got a lot of support from my manager and my peers.

The HR team also guided us with Senior speaker series' and crash courses earlier on. LinkedIn learning helped answered queries.
