Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Working on morning summaries for the trading floor, develop trade ideas, and help with administrative tasks.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The fact that the industry is that regulated, makes it hard for interns to be given much responsability. However, on some of the administrative tasks, I could really feel like I was helping the firm. As well, when working on morning summaries, I realized I was helping sales and trading teams to get some market color before the day started.

Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I feel is one of the best cultures I have ever seen in a company. It is clearly shaped by the 5 core values: Do the right thing, put clients first, lead with exceptional ideas, commit to diversity and inclusion, and give back. I could feel all these values when dealing with people within the firm, from juniors to seniors.
