Recommendations and Advice

Would you recommend Rothschild & Co to a friend?
Yes
What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Rothschild & Co
Of course! Something like:
To anyone considering applying, go for it, and go in with an open mind. Be social, put yourself out there and don't be afraid to introduce yourself to everyone, whether that's fellow participants or professionals at the firm. It can feel daunting at first, but there really is no need to feel intimidated or shy. Everyone is there to support you, answer your questions and make you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. The connections you make and the conversations you have are just as valuable as the sessions themselves, make the most of every moment.
