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

My team is primarily concernced with brokergae, clearance and exchange. Day to day activieis include reviewing our dahsboards of calculated fees we should be paying brokers vs the actual invoices and checking for a variance, looking at ways to update the dashboards and make them more user friendly and making sure exchanges don't overcharge us

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given very little responsibility during the internship. I was given various different tasks and developed different skills throughout but exposure to project was little and I often wasn't sure what the next stage was in the project I was working on as I didn't get exposure to it.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Recommendations & Advice

Would you recommend Citi to a friend?

Yes

What advice would you give to others applying to Citi

To do loads of background research but also be very confident in your abilities before applying. Not to worry if you think the interview went horrible, as I though I had done progressively worse in every intervew and found the Citi internship interviews the worst out of any other places I had applied for yet I managed to get the internship. To make sure to always be yourself and be able to explain the reasoning behind your responses
