Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There was a schedule for each of the three days which broadly involved a networking session in the morning with other interns, followed by an insight into an area of Fidelity's business (including research for equity, credit and multi-asset research), and finally a case study where we would present our opinion on investing in a stock, bond or alternative.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was very insightful and informative to hear from people currently working in different roles. It made the different options for roles and what it would be like to work for Fidelity very clear, and was extremely helpful when considering potential future career options
