My work links up more than some peoples with what I do in college there is nothing that I have learnt that I haven't used at some stage.
Are there extra-curricular activities to get involved in at your work? (For example, any social activities, sports teams, or even professional networking events.)
5/5
Yes I am part of the social committee which helps bring people together to celebrate different cultures and things like international women's day. Work also has volunteering hours which you can use and go do a whole list of things for your community.
Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Citi to a friend?
Yes
Why?
Cit has been amazing I have received so much help from joining not only from my team but wider. I have been here 3 years now and I couldn't be happier with my choice of place to work. I have met some incredible people and never felt like I didn't fit in.
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Citi?
Be open, I was wary with the sector being banking but I have been learning and taught so much that I lost all feelings of fear or doubt. They have been so supportive and helpful so just speak up and ask everyone will help.
