Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The day-to-day job depends on the desk you are assigned at. For both research and trading, it was important to keep up with news everyday and read market research papers. We had projects for the whole summer intern class, like trade idea and news presentation, and we also had projects for our own line manager on each desk. There are also lots of work shadowing sessions to learn about roles of different desks in bank.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Again this depends on the desk, I had projects on trade idea and researching about markets. These are more like learning opportunities for myself and assisting managers, instead of big responsibilities, which is good for me to learn.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
