    The Role

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy your work placement or internship?
  • I enjoyed it extensively. There were many opportunities for me to challenge myself and learn more about the firm and specifically how my specific division fits within the firm. I truly learned a lot throughout the internship and had a great deal of fun, as well, from the events like CTW or other networking events.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued by your colleagues?
  • I felt extremely values by the colleagues that I worked with. This was evidenced in their confidence to give me projects that were both challenging and important to the firm, as well. Overall, I can say that definitely felt like an integral part of the team and valued by my colleagues, indeed.

    4/5

  • 3. To what extent were you given support and guidance by management/your supervisor(s)?
  • My supervisors gave me a tremendous amount of support throughout my internship. They were very meticulous in terms of the specification of my project and they were passionate about my work as well, so they placed great emphasis on mentoring and supporting me. I am very appreciative of this, because it helped my development greatly.

    3/5

  • 4. How busy were you on a daily basis?
  • On a daily basis, I was very busy. I had normally about 1 or 2 hours dedicated to solely intern meetings, MD roundtables, networking sessions, etc. The project I was given was also quite demanding, so it did take up a lot of my time and I can definitely say that I was very busy, but still maintained a perfect balance.

    4/5

  • 5. How much responsibility were you given during your placement?
  • I was given a lot of responsibility, although I was still carefully mentored by my supervisors, managers, and "buddy," who was an Associate within the team. They trusted me to develop this proprietary framework and I embraced the responsibility and simultaneously learned a lot through the responsibility in my internship, too.

  • 6. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and training you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The skills I developed are very transferable. I developed great team building skills, presentation skills, technical skills, and, of course, financial skills. It was truly a great experience, and it was so gratifying to ultimately push my project into production. I learned a lot from my training and work that will assist me in my degree studies and beyond.

    4/5

    The Company

  • 7. What was the general atmosphere in your office?

I was the main recipient of this collaborative culture, as the intern, of course. I truly enjoyed the experience in my office - it contributed to the good work.

  • 8. How well organised was the overall work placement or internship set up?
  • The internship was very well organized as there was a defined project in place for me upon my arrival to the firm.

It was definitely well organized,
