Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I would receive different trainings from team members and those in UKFS teams nationwide. I would then be able to assist on deals, using these skills that I had used. I would interact with my team regularly, shadowing deals and giving input where I could. On top of this I would meet virtually with interns from other regions to complete a business project, as well as attending different spotlight sessions
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes. Since my team deals in very high value deals, obviously there was only so much that I could be trusted. However, my team would trust me with any task that I believed I was capable of and assist me with these tasks where I needed it. I did lots of work that contributed to live deals
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Yes. In the technical sense I have learnt lots of skills such as financial modelling and how to create financial tables. More broadly, I have improved my networking and collaboration skills, my ability to analyse propositions and critically review them, as well as the ability to work in a fast paced environment and meet deadlines
