Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
The week was mostly spent either in sessions with bankers who were explaining what their department do or working in teams on a group project. We also had sessions on the firm’s history and on case studies.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Through the insight week I learnt a lot about the different departments of the firm which really displayed all the available opportunities. It definitely helped me to understand these roles and whether they were suited to my skillset

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
I learnt a lot about valuations whilst working on the group project. Through this project I also developed my ability to present, and my analytical skills considering that we had to cut a lot from the presentation to fit it within the time.
