Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Learning about finance (around 50% of the internship), helping international clients with their terminal workflows and pitching functionality to clients, making sure they are using the terminal's full potential
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Lots of responsibility - was given the chance to call and interact with clients who were working in very high up positions in the firm. CEOs, COOs, MDs of smaller banks/ asset managers across emerging markets (my department). Definitely trusted to uphold Bloomberg's image even early in the internship.
Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Support and Guidance
How much support and guidance did you receive during your placement / internship?
Lots. Had a connector mentor from another department who guided me and built a network around me of supporting people - alongside a mentor for sales, a mentor for analytics, a manager for sales and a team leader for analytics. Later on any employee would happily take on the mentor role unofficially

Company Culture
