Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Two days a week in Analytics training, learning how to use the Terminal with a different focus each week (e.g. Equity, Fixed Income).
Three days in Sales, learning about clients, calling clients to teach new functionalities and shadowing client visits.
Free time for networking across departments and working on projects.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes. From the second week we were calling Bloomberg clients to teach them about new/enhanced functionalities on the Terminal, and responding to any additional questions they had. We also had opportunities to shadow client visits.
Internally, we were taken seriously by employees across departments and had freedom to schedule meetings with them to ask them about their work.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
