Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I work on recording the data held by the organisations. I interact with colleagues in Citi's offices globally. I have been working on recording data held for the purpose of particular financial reporting.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I think I was given lots of responsibility and opportunities to manage my workload. As part of my training I was able to work with other interns in a team to deliver a project at a pace directed by us. As I was working on a solo project in my other work, I had responsibility to deliver.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I know much more about JSON, and have learnt about Spring Boot (which was new to me), as well as Java and frontend HTML/CSS/JS.
I learnt to use AI in order to improve my productivity and efficiency.
Outside of technology, I know much more about risk management in the context of a bank which has been very interesting.

Try to read up about the bank (skim read recent news articles and anything regulators may have said). Make sure you can answer standard interview questions. Make sure you've revised algorithm/OOP-style questions.
