Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Varied project work - specifically completing analysis within excel and reviewing documents that were presented to various teams at the end of my internship. Additionally, attending meetings and networking with individuals across the bank.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given my own specific task to work on - despite only covering a small area of a much larger puzzle the work appeared to be meaningful and a genuine contribution, it required me to work with people from different areas of the bank which provided great exposure to the business.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Corona provided some specific challenges around being virtual, however, I had a lot of support from my manager who met with me every morning. I was also assigned a buddy who was a junior analyst who I could ask day to day questions and a mentor who helped by navigating the bank. Additionally, everyone on my team was more than willing to provide me with support and guidance.
