Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I get given a range of different tasks, such as member queries (eg calculating transfer values), calculating factors, updating papers, creating models for GMP equalisation.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I had direct client contact - sending emails, calculating things that went to the client (after checks and reviews from others). I did 'real work' so had a lot of responsibility for an intern.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
