Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

As an intern I had the opportunity to rotate across two teams in the Financing Solutions programme. In my first rotation, my day mainly consisted of me asking for opportunities to get involved and help the team out so I did a lot of Excel work, making PowerPoints and presenting them, and research tasks. In my second rotation I did similar work but I also had a desk project. I typically had some networking chats throughout the day as well.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I had quite a lot of responsibility during my internship but I was also given a lot of help so the responsibility wasn't pressurising.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
