Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Helping team with deal work related to both pitching and execution. Mostly providing support to juniors where needed and making managing workload easier for them. Multiple deals and workstreams to keep up with so workload can be heavy. Some teach in sessions with members across the bank.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Placed on live deals and tasked with execution work which was sent to the client. Given chance to communicate with both clients and other banks. Lots of responsibility at an intern level, not just working in the shadows.
