Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
You will start by completing our comprehensive Analytics & Sales training program, covering all aspects of the financial markets: industry principles, market players and asset classes - while teaching you all there is to know about the functionality and analytical tools Bloomberg has to offer!
You will join one of our Analytics teams, delivering exceptional customer support to our clients by providing fast and accurate solutions to their queries, while continuing to develop your knowledge through asset class and workflow specialist training.
There are multiple opportunities to further your career across the department or the company, with the majority of Analytics representatives progressing towards opportunities in our Entreprise Sales teams. You could also go on to take up a Leadership position, or take on a more specialised support role in our Advanced Specialist or Trading Solutions teams.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Was allowed to make sales calls to clients and create our own projects to pitch to anyone in the company.
I cant picture a company that would be as welcoming from the top down as much as bloomberg.
Not only do we get responsibility to face clients but also set our own tasks and goals
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
