Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
An array of product and team discussions, providing an insight into Rothschild & Co as a firm. Over the course of the week, participants are given numerous opportunities to interact with HR, junior and senior bankers. The week ended with an M+A group case study presentation based on skills and content developed over the course of the program.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Whilst Rothschild is a smaller Investment Bank, you really do get an insight into how global they are, with employees and offices across the world. The insight week provides a fantastic introduction into all the different divisions within the bank - with plenty of opportunities to interact with a range of bankers from analyst to MD.
