Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
A 2 day insight program. On the first day had an introductory talk, a talk from colleagues from sustainability and global philanthropy. We were introduced to markets and had an opportunity to network with analysts. On the second day we delivered presentations in groups, did a trading simulation and networked with seniors.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I was able to learn more about the roles available in markets such as in equity, fixed income.. etc but would like to have more of an insight into other areas of banking as well.
