Overview of Role

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

I really enjoyed my time at Citi. I was pleasantly surprised by the sales role that I covered as it is not your typically sales job. You have to conduct in-depth market analysis to produce a strategy for the sales team to implement and develop as a consequence of not winning over previous clients. I found it very stimulating and the people here are great. Great culture and I would love to come back full time.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given enough responsibility to feel like my internship was worthwhile and providing a contribution but not too much that I was putting anything at risk with the clients or feeling stressed about failing.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
