Overview of Role

Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
Supporting the Regional and EMEA leading Chief Technologists in their day to day role. Involves communicating across teams to collaborate on projects as well as preparing documentation/slides for our customers.
Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
I was given freedom in the sense to explore on my own at the start, being proactive. However, it was almost too much given I am only an intern and needed more guidance.
Otherwise, I was assigned tasks and given responsibility and deadlines to meet
