Spring Insight Week Review

Taught the basics of financial markets and how they operate, as well as different roles and banking and what the job entails. Learned technical information eg reading and analysing income statements, balance sheets, calculating EBITDA.
Talks organised by senior members of HSBC outlining different divisions: GLCM, Sales and trading, Investment banking, Corporate Banking. Carried out a work simulation where we shadowed employees that worked in our desired sector.

It was very informative, I personally came in with the idea that I wanted to pursue Investment banking but once I did the spring week I realised it wasn't for me and I would enjoy trading much more. The things we learned were quite technical but there's no pressure to learn and memorise everything straight away, the employees were very welcoming for any questions we had.

Taught the basics of financial markets and how they operate, as well as different roles and banking and what the job entails. Learned technical information eg reading and analysing income statements, balance sheets, calculating EBITDA. Developed teamwork skills during activities like a trading game and investment banking case study. Worked on networking skills everyday.

Culture of learning, they encouraged us to ask questions. Strong sense of teamwork and responsibility. They care a lot about inclusion and diversity. Active focus on sustainability.

I enjoyed the insight a lot, I felt like I learned more about myself and got the opportunity to learn a lot more about all business areas in global banking and markets. I worked on many soft and hard skills.
