Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Each day at Rothschild & Co involved a mix of activities including insightful speakers, panel discussions, workshops, through which we were able to learn more about the firm’s operations. We worked on an M&A case study that we presented to a senior team and explored the firm’s philanthropy through R&Co4Generations. Opportunities to speak with and shadow Analysts allowed us to gain insights into their personal experiences and respective sectors.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Learning about Rothschild & Co’s different areas like Global Advisory, Five Arrows, and others was insightful. They brought in great speakers who gave us a real feel for the various roles and how each part contributes to the firm’s goals. This gave me a much clearer and deeper understanding of the firm’s operations beyond just reading about them online.
