Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
I was involved in a range of retirement calculations. Work not only covered actuarial, but also consulting and admin work too.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
To an extent. The team is ready to give guidance on anywhere you need confirmation. However, there are spells where there is not much to do and this probably would not be the case with more years of exprience.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
I really enjoyed it. It helped me get a better insight into this career. However, I would say you don't get complete exposure because there is a lot you don't do as an intern. Also, you will most likely be busier and have more work to do if you actually had the job long-term.
Please rate your level of enjoyment on your placement / internship
