Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Majority of the internship is shadowing. Depending on what desk your at, you shadow and network with the people there. On the credit s&t desk, we did trade pitches (1-2 a week). You are encouraged to leave your desk and chat with different people.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
No, no responsibility. Interns are not allowed to communicate with clients and I was learning more than I was actually working.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
