Overview of Role

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

Depending on the team, there are different roles and responsibilities. Usually, I come into the office and work on a deal that I am staffed on. If there is limited work, then I ask the team if there is anything I can do to help. I helped with PowerPoints, market updates, comparables, and more.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

Fair amount. I took the role of an analyst over during a deal while he was on holiday.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Company Culture

What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?

Super chill! The dress code can be more casual or professional depending on the day. You can be friends with the people you work with and do not have to be very filtered as long as you maintain respect.
