Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was able to do 2 rotations as part of my summer internship and my role depended on each rotation but overall the goal was to have a more precise view of what the trading room and the world of banking were like. I had to help my team on a daily basis (market recap, graph, trade idea) but also network within the bank
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
It depended on the rotations but they had confidence in me.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
