Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
My role was to support the other analysts across a range of M&A and debt deals. I was on four live projects and also complete ad-hoc work. Daily responsibilities varied depending on the type of deal and stage in the process, such as creating slides for IMs, working with data in Excel, researching investors and competitors and carrying out admin tasks to support the process management of the projects.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
As an intern I was provided with an unparalleled level of responsibility, in the type of work carried out and in interactions with clients.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was
