Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There were talks from Citi employees across different divisions, and then markets specific talks. I had the opportunity to shadow the metals desk (so far), which was really interesting to gain an insight of. There was an AmplifyMe trading simulation which was a really good opportunity, especially as I'd never done anything like it before. Joseph, who ran this course, did such a great job at running it's and helping me when I was quite confused.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really good. The talks from different divisions, and then especially the introduction to products with employees from all different products was really useful. I came in with not much knowledge, and feel much more confident now

I've learned much more about the operations of a bank, what working in markets looks like, what working at Citi looks like. I've learned more key financial terms, I've improved my networking.

Company Culture

How would you rate business leader involvement during the insight
5/5
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
I really liked it. It was a very welcoming environment, and was shocked by how willing to help everyone was. My buddy, [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the Higherin Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions], went out of her way to talk to me for a few hours, and then to take me to her desk. Those I shadowed on the metals team took time to answer all my questions and be available during the whole 3 hours. The attitude was the same from the early careers team. It was all very welcoming.
