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 consisted of presentations, networking sessions and business case studies, but also assessments such as a group exercise, a group presentation and final interviews.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Although the insight was focused on the investment banking division, we attended presentations on other divisions such as equity research and we were able to understand how these interact. It certainly helped me understand the interplay between the different divisions within an investment bank and what my future role as an investment banker would entail in every sector or product team.
