Recommendations and Advice
Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Spent 4 days listening to talks and asking questions to panels from professionals across global banking and markets. Undertook workshops in areas such as DCM, Sales, Trading and CIB
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
Coming from an engineering background, they were very open to explaining acronyms and terms I was unfamiliar with. If I had to say one caveat it would be that there was almost too much new information in a short space of time. Only on the last day have I started understanding the true differences across sectors. Maybe extending the programme one more day would help?
