Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

We participated in interactive games with Amplify me trading such as IPO simulation, Quant simulation, market maker simulations and hedge fund simulations.
We also gained further exposure to the culture present at Citi by understanding the different work they do to ensure positive social impact.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Yes, it was very clear for me to understand which role provided the perfect alignment of my skills and interests.
