Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills, or developed your existing skills?
Firstly, I've gotten a better insight into the different line of business, desks, and roles within the bank and an idea of what I personally enjoy doing. Secondly, I've learnt how to effectively keep myself up to date with the market and how investment bankers view the market. Thirdly, I also learnt important skills such as excel, VBA, ppt, and more that allows me to automate tasks and make processes more efficient for my desk. I've also been able to home my communication and networking skills, meeting with my line manager weekly to communicate my progress, receive feedback and learn about thier work.
