Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day-to-day basis I was assigned a variety of tasks from primarily managers and associates in the valuations team. These altered from conducting industry analysis for reports or being involved in financial modelling activities for transactions.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
In terms of responsibility during my internship, I would say that I was given a fair amount of independence in my work. Often, I was briefed on what to do and then would conduct the work in my own time, updating the managers once it was completed for them to review.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
