Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We had talks and presentations roughlt from 9-5 everyday, with a couple of end of day light-hearted social events. There were always opportunities to ask questions and to network with the staff.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It started with a high level overview which was a great way to build the foundations to understanding GCIB. They explained it in very clear and concise ways, and using past case studies really boosted my understanding.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Bank of America
Reach out to people prior to your interviews, everyone is willing to help you and they genuinely do want the best for you! Do some research yourself, but it can seem very confusing but don't worry, at a Spring Insight level they don't expect you to know everything. Be open and willing to learn and most importantly, be yourself - that's exactly what they want to see.
