    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • The spring week was design to give us an insight into Goldman Sachs and what the business, the different divisions do. A normal day comprised of desk rotations within the global markets division, networking with people within the division and presentations. There were other things that happened on different days such as financial training, panel sessions and escape rooms too.
