Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Workshops took around 2 and a half hours. They were quasi organised as competitions, where participants would program or trade in teams.
Social activities were organised in groups usually such that each group had at least one company employee, to whom we could ask questions.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The structure within the quants, the divisions between tasks and specialisations, seems extremely trivial in hindsight, but I had no idea about it before this. It was good to talk to people working in those different roles and to hear about their daily activities.

Skills Development
Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
Most importantly, I learned networking skills. I learned how to ask questions and to have small talk with recruiters and with fellow students whom I did not know. This may not have been the main goal of the event, but it was good to learn nonetheless.
