Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Daily tasks varied depending on amount of live deals. Mainly gathering information regarding companies through either annual reports or Factset.
Worked closely with analyst and associate on team but occasionally also meeting with VPs.
Client interactions only during meetings when entire team was present, I never spoke during those

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given surprisingly much responsibility, as a few analysts went on vacation and I took over a large part of their workload.
