I realy enjoyed the role as I was gradually given more responsibility in a range of tasks: pitches, market research, screenings, valuation, admin.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Yes, if it was noticed that you handled tasks well and efficiently you were given more responsibility. I ended up doing pitches on my own.
