Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Very desk dependent. On flow desks involves collecting flows seen that day, summarising news articles and working on trade ideas. On other desk, I had more long term projects to do and work on. Just doing tasks to try help out the team where possible as there is only so much an intern can do.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes responsibility over the tasks I was given as some desks can be very busy so you need to make sure you get the work done on time and how they want it .
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Depends on the desk again. When desk is busy, you need to make sure to ask for guidance and schedule that time in yourself - they won't actively find you.
