Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
I received endless support from my manager, although from what I heard this changed a lot from team to team, depending on your manager. Some were a lot less hands on and the interns were left to fend for themselves more.

In the tech department people were very social and easy going. It was a lot less intense (hours and culture wise) than other departments link IB or Sales & Trading. Team drinks and lunches were a frequent occurrence.
