Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
On a day-to-day basis, my tasks would vary a lot. I could be creating pitch presentation, teaser documents and management presentation for clients. I could be in client meetings or I could be creating company profiles and complicated excels for trading comps or backups for presentations I am creating.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was surprised by how much responsibility I was given. Some examples are: I was individually responsible for sending tracker documents to clients every week and I was given lots of tasks which ended up going straight to the clients.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
My excel and presentation skills have improved dramatically as well as my overall understanding of financial institutions and how they operate. I would also say that my interpersonal skills have improved as there have been a huge amount of opportunities to talk to people in the firm both at the analyst level and all the way up to MDs and Group Heads.
