Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Rotated on two desks, an Equity Research desk and a Commodity Sales desk. Tasks included deep research into companies and commodities, presentation creation and stock pitches. Also included lots of shadowing of employees across the bank.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Received lots of responsibility in research, meeting corporates and summarising calls and meetings. Less chance to do so in sales but still more than expected.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
