Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Had a brief daily meeting with manager. Many smaller ad-hoc tasks including updating a pipeline summary each week. Also, altering financial models on excel with new features and maintaining the models with up to date information. Alongside this, negotiating developer contracts and helping others in the team with information on contracts.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given a fair amount of responsibility to complete projects independently that others within the team relied on. However, any work had oversight before going to more senior members of the company.
