Overview of Role

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

During my 10 week internship in the FIG team in the corporate bank, I worked across all four subsectors that my team covers, supporting the team on both internal pieces and client work. On a day-to-day basis, I often send out updates of clients' earnings results, or news stories that are relevant to our clients. I also work on creating PowerPoint presentations, and Excel spreadsheets, as well as using internal Citi systems. There is a big emphasis on learning too so many of my days involve a coffee chat, or a 'Teach In' session, where I get educated on the bank.

Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?

I was given a lot of responsibility. I worked under Analysts, who were always there to proof-read my work and check my progression, but ultimately I was staffed on many things where I could take responsibility for my own work.

Please rate how meaningful the work you were doing was

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?

Definitely. I have improved my Excel/PowerPoint skills. I have improved my understanding of the subsectors my team covers, and also more broadly how a large bank like Citi works and what each function does.
