Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Day-to-day involves joining many team meeting and market development calls, which help me gain as much relevant knowledge as possible. I also communicate with my team and traders to understand the teams role even more, and ask questions which can support presentations I am working on.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The objectives set out by me and my manager, was to focus on certain areas and fully understand those, as time is limited. However, I was still given presentations to work on, which I had to source information for by talking to other members and traders.
