Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Monday entailed learning about Citi and the firm’s values. Whereas on Tuesday the banking team learnt the different banking division. This included corporate banking, IB and CM. On Wednesday we spent time on the floor learning in first person what our chosen fields do on a day to day basis.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was incredibly insightful, as it helps you understand what opportunities are available. This makes sure that when we apply for summer internships, we know that we have applied for fields we would enjoy.
