• Proposed an M&A deal between Netflix and ITV, including relevant valuations, and presented this within a team of 6 to senior bankers.
Had quite a few business seminars and networked with fellow spring interners and bankers. Had the opportunity to ask lots of questions

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
The business seemed quite impressive to me and I was inspired to definitely apply to roles in the future. Talking with senior and junior bankers made me realise how good the Rothschild firm culture is and how this is reflected over the different sectors of the business. There was a wide variety of roles available at the firm, I feel that I can definitely find a role well tailored to me.

What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Rothschild & Co
When appplying ensure that your cv and your cover letter are up to scratch. In your cover letter include why the firm, why ib and why you. With online tests ensure that you are not distracted and that you try your best, they are generally hard so be prepared. In the interview I would recommend to be yourself and let your personality shine through.
