Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
During the week we engaged in panel sessions in a variety of business areas across the bank for example asset management, risk, markets and investment banking.
There was the opportunity to participate in interactive case studies with a variety of divisions to simulate the working experience.
Also there was a lot of networking sessions to help us understand the day-to-day activities employees within the firm engaged in.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was great as we got the chance to interact with people from various lines of the business. This allowed me to understand a lot more about the roles available to me within the firm.
