What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Before the insight, I had a general idea of asset management, but the programme made it much clearer how teams across equities, fixed income and multi-asset work together and how their day-to-day responsibilities differ. It also gave me a better sense of the range of opportunities within Fidelity and helped me understand how different roles contribute to the wider investment process.

Skills Development

Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
Yes, I developed both my communication and teamwork skills during the insight. Working on three different challenges meant I had to collaborate with others, listen to different viewpoints and combine ideas into a clear conclusion. I also improved my public speaking and presentation skills by sharing our thinking back to the wider group.
