Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The first day involved strengths and networking training as well as overviews for GM and GB. The second day was a full day of technical training, learning about valuation methods. The third day was talks from varying desks from GB, followed by a networking session. The last day was an Assessment Centre for the Summer Internship.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It opened my eyes as to the different roles in Global Banking - as opposed to just the traditional M and A desk that most people know about.

Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I really enjoyed it, I think being in such an intimate group of 13 really helped me enjoy it to the maximum, as the training felt very individual. I also learnt a lot of skills I can hopefully apply to the industry.
