Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
This role consists of working closely alongside your deal teams, assisting in the production of decks / marketing materials as well as analysing data in excel. Each day can be quite varied in terms of the type of work but one can expect to conduct thorough research into different assets, their key financials and upcoming opportunities.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
As a result of leaner deal teams, this internship was a great way to gain industry exposure - as such, a lot of responsibility was given to interns. You would often be working closely with seniors, allowing them to gradually give you more tasks as you get accustomed to the way of working.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Certainly the summer internship has further developed analytical skills and enhanced communication. It has also put many technical concepts in practice so one is able to experience many M&A procedures at first hand.
