Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
A day-to-day basis at G-Research was an optimistic environment, it was very embracing especially from each and everyone of the employees throughout the company from the moment I stepped into the building all the way to the moment I had left the building. It was a a positive experience through and through whilst my time here.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It most definitely opened many doors and pathways that I didn't know existed. For example, I've always had an interest for finance, although I really enjoy mathematics, in which G-Research encouraged me to look into the career path of a Quantitative Research or even Quant trader which amalgamates all my interests.

Skills Development

My public speaking and presentation skills has definitely improved whilst at my time here. G-Research designated time so that we can learn how to articulate and convey ourselves in a concise manner that will keep your audience captivated. I developed new skills such as not being afraid to look "silly" as they encouraged inquisitive minds.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to G-Research
My advice would be to, one be yourself, but to come inquisitive. you aren't expected to know everything however its the drive and passion to want to know more, that is what really makes you stand out and become good for the company. Make sure you are well researched, don't apply just because but because you've done a background check on the company and it is something you really want to do.
