Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The Insight was a three-day event that introduced us to the firm and our chosen divisions of interest. I selected IBD and GCM, so we had two days dedicated to exploring what a day in the life looks like in each. The people were absolutely fantastic—both within the cohort and among the employees we had the chance to meet. Overall, it was a truly amazing experience.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I really enjoyed it. It was very valuable to see what investment bankers actually do on a day to day basis. Oftentimes information about the job can be quite obscure so that was definitely a win.
