Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
The internship was 9 weeks in total of which the first week was an online training. Then it was followed by two 4 week rotations, one on a financing desk and the other on a flow desk. During the rotations I had the chance to speak to people on the desk and several other desks as well to learn about their role and network. I could also complete smaller tasks to help the team.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
The amount of responsibility given mainly depended on the desk's business and how busy they were at the time.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
I learnt a lot about financial markets but most importantly how to filter the relevant information and form a view. The internship also gave the opportunity to push myself as much out of my comfort zone as I wanted to, and so I could develop my time management skills as well. Additionally, I could improve my social/networking skills as the internship's provided endless opportunities to network.
