2 days are commited to hearing about 2 chosen lines of business (e.g tech, investment banking), 1 day for each one.
Multiple networking events.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Talks felt very information heavy at times and difficult to take in. I felt like I learned the most from talking to employees at QandA panels and networking events.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I really enjoyed the program. It was fully in-person, I met alot of interesting people and improved my understanding of the bank and how tech operates within it.
Only complaint was that some of the line of business days were very information heavy and not very interactive until the QandA session.
