Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I would create and provide announcement materials for IPOs and SPACs. I would compile weekly market updates that would be sent out to clients. I worked in origination as well, spending a lot of time on RFPs, relevant discussions, and attending client meetings.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a lot of responsibility, which I was ecstatic about! It was challenging but not overwhelming, the perfect balance. I felt like a part of the team and that I was actually contributing meaningful work!
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I not only gained numerous soft skills, but I was most excited to be able to use dealogic, factset, and bloomberg software as I was not familiar with them before. I also learned about the Syndicate process for equity capital markets related deals.
