Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I worked on a variety of client projects, using Excel and programming to achieve this. Did work on loss forecasting, solvency ii, and reserving, working with a range of people on the team. Also had projects to do with the wider group of aon interns.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Lots of responsibility from day 1. Worked on multiple client projects where my work was actually for the client, and given lots of guidance by my team. Some projects would only have a few other people working on them so you gain a lot of responsibility.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
