Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.

On a day-to-day basis I was working on multiple projects looking at companies across various industries. Primarily I was working on connecting industry experts with AlphaSights clients for 1 on 1 conversations.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I felt I was given significant responsibility in the context of it being a placement. I felt the role mirrored the associate role pretty accurately with the main difference being performance targets.
