Overview of Role

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

4 week internship in the Deal Execution team where I had the opportunity to work with a partner on a large scale divestment project and well as presenting a case study to a panel of partners and directors

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a lot of responsibility but at times too much, as I was never assigned to a team and only had one pot left assigned to me, I had to contact many people to even get some work. This experience was personal as for most people it wasn’t like this.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance

How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?

I was given sufficient support but I definitely expected to be followed more (as my fellow interns were), as I never got assigned to a team and hence didn’t get to meet as many colleagues as I would have liked.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

I mostly enjoyed my internship but I definitely had days where I was not happy with it because of the lack of work assigned to me, as well as multiple IT issues that prevented me from following training properly. Overall, I met many wonderful people and enjoyed working in London.
