Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
insight shared via talks, presentations, networking sessions, networking breakfast, drinks events, interactions and coffees with bankers at the firm including with our allocated buddy who was fantastic, Q&A sessions
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
it was very useful: we all want to join the firm at a specific business division, but to have been given a comprehensive overview of how the entire entity works symbiotically together, makes one aware of not just what kind of a firm one is going to work for, but the culture and the way that strengthens the entire business as a whole, from a holistic perspective, across market cycles and across different client profiles, and across geographies.
