    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis.
  • My role included rotations on a sales desk and trading desk. Day-to-day work included reading up on the technical side of the desk, asking the team questions, networking, keeping up to date with markets and working on my desk projects. Desk projects varied from creating a stock pitch to analyzing risk to investigating client relationships. I also researched trades for a virtual trading game we played and had meetings with my team.

  • I have learnt a lot about markets, networking, communication and presenting. I've also improved at working to tight deadlines and being proactive in reaching out to others. I also am now better at managing my own time.
