Overview of Experience
Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
There were two virtual days, where most of the content was covered by a third party training company.
Once in-person, there were a mix of talks, presentations, networking sessions, desk-shadowing, and activities.

What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
I was initially interested in the O&A side of the business, however upon speaking to different employees and getting an insight into the day-to-day of employees, I'm much more interested in the Fixed Income and Currencies side of the business.
