Overview of Experience

Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
We explored different divisions, from Investment Banking to Global Markets and Corporates as well as DEI goals. We attended talks given by senior employees and then had networking lunches, drinks and sessions everyday with the opportunity to network with not only with peers but also with analysts and other seniors from the team on specific days. Then we also had case study workshops.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It made it clearer to me which path I want to walk down, especially since I wasn't sure which team was right for me and what I was the most interested in.
