Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
Attended insight events that allowed you to network with professionals from different divisions within the bank. Participated in training that introduced the fundamental basics of investment banking. Took part in an M&A case study project.
What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
It was really helpful in terms of career planning, as they left a lot of time for questions and were completely honest about the roles you could take up depending on your strengths and interests. The speakers were interactive and we all left with a good understanding of where we would best fit in within the bank.
