It was amazing to get a feel for what opportunities there are within HSBC. I certainly wasn’t aware of many of the teams such as GPS and CIB but they’re now teams that really interest me and I’m glad I got the chance to explore them.

Overall Experience
To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
I was hesitant going in as I had a preconception that everyone would be doing a Finance or Economics degree and I would feel unknowledgeable. However this couldn’t have been further from the truth, and I got to speak with so many different people and learn so many new things, and I am so incredibly glad and grateful to have done the insight.
