Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The role is an insight into two different departments - Analytics and Sales. The analytics is the foundational department that new hires join prior to moving sales. Here you gain a comprehensive overview of Bloomberg's product offering, market concepts, terminal functionality and interact with clients to assist them with any issues they have on the terminal. The department is divided across asset classes. Sales teams travel monthly but the internship is all London based - we were tasked with reaching out to clients, pitching new functions on the Bloomberg terminal and assisting clients with their workflow.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
From the first week of the internship you are encouraged to ring Bloomberg clients and try to book meetings with them. You are also encouraged to pitch functionality on the terminal - these can be very sophisticated products, so it is a brilliant learning experience. You are also encouraged to reach out internally to anyone in the business.
