About You
It was a great way to learn about the different desks in the Securities division
The frim made an incredible effort to ensure that we were constantly learning and supported during the insight
We were always able to reach out to HR and our mentors about any requests or questions. Everyone was very helpful
The skills I developed will help me with my studies in Economics and Business. I have a greater understanding of how the concepts are applied in the financial world
The Company

It was really energetic, positive and everyone was eager to learn as much as possible
They invested a lot of time in ensuring we had people to reach out to, to learn from and to speak with about our interests
It gave me a good insight. Employees were very informative about their hours, schedules and the various training processes
I learned that there is a strong team culture in the firm. People also have a great work ethic and meritocracy is a key value
It was a two week programme and it further affirmed in my mind that I really wanted a career in securities
