Overall Experience

To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?
Working with the Trade Allocation and Settlement team has been a terrific and phenomenal experience; especially now that I broke into a new field. I had the most amazing support system that I greatly appreciate their help in navigating the bank.
I can sum it up in three words: educational, engaging, captivating.
I have taken up a ton of skills such as communication, leadership, negotiation, cooperation, and collaboration. In addition to the Bank investing in cross-training material for learning, I took a lot of lessons from my interactions with everyone across the bank. I, in turn, enhanced my network, and my confidence in forming new relationships significantly improved.
Working on the various projects within my team also enhanced my understanding of business processes as well as my teamwork skills.
