Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
In the analytics department I take care of clients problems with the terminal, helping with their questions and upskilling him by conducting product calls. Second part of the job was sales oriented. I had to reach out to clients to pitch new functions and research related to their player type and workflow. Booking meetings and building relationships was part of the role.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given the right amount of responsibilities during the internship.
In Sales I was always guided by my mentors but they also let me do my job and gave me enough responsibilities to call clients and go to meetings.
In analytics I shadowed my mentors and they showed me their daily work.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

I have learned a lot about the Bloomberg terminal and it's many functionalities, from news coverage and research analysis to trading and valuation. I have also learned more about programming applications for the terminal and excel, including BQL, BQNT and other APIs. On the other hand, I also expanded my sales skills by learning different techniques and approaches when dealing with clients.
