Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The day-to-day activities were very interesting. They taught me important skills regarding how to operate within a big business and how to manage an existing service. I acquired financial knowledge across private, primary and secondary markets, providing a strong understanding LSEG does. There was a lot of freedom in communicating what I wanted to learn, and my expectations were not only met but exceeded.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility, whether in the tasks I was able to take, and the individuals I was able to speak to. This made the internship very enjoyable, as I was able to push myself, and learn as much as possible within this opportunity. I am looking forward to hopefully come back and continue my learning in LSEG.
