Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Part of a software engineering team at Bloomberg. Programming, design, troubleshooting, meetings, etc.
To what extent do you enjoy your programme?
4/5
The work at Bloomberg was excellent. There was lots of flexibility and support. The degree was okay, but often not interesting or not applicable, and quite basic compared to the work I was doing. University administration sucks.
