Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Each day we had a different insight of the Nomura divisions. We had case studies, as well as, different panelists and networking events. Also, after program networking events occurred.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very insightful and definitely a huge learning curve on what sectors I would like to work in the future. On the other hand, getting exposure to so many different accents and divisions was useful to know what to expect in Banking at Nomura.
