Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Participating in banker-led sessions, detailing their work within the divisions. Training and numerous Q&A sessions were held for nearly all sessions, with senior members providing insights into life at RBCCM.
There was also a trading simulation and a sell-side case study, organized and assessed by bankers.

It was much more detailed than I expected. It was daunting and exciting at the same time, with sufficient time after the event to ruminate and finally decide on the role you'd like to pursue come recruitment season.
