Overview
The Insight involved an Introduction into Investment Banks, the different divisions and an overview of BofA's values and principles. Two days have been designated each to GTS and Global Markets (in my case). The rest of the week also involved talks on resilience, communication practices, personal branding and inclusivity, as well as game nights. The programme was completely online, WebEx was used as the platform.
Skills
personal branding skills wand communication skills were developed the most.
Business Insight
It was interesting learning about the opportunities, although further research and insights into the field will definitely be needed even after the insight. Not all questions have been answered due to not very much interaction with the employees (not many networking sessions with them).
Culture
very inclusive and encouraging, although the diversity when it comes to different backgrounds in the degrees has not been as high as expected.
Your Impressions
I enjoyed learning about the culture and the support given to the employees by Bank of America.
Yes
Do your "homework" on financial knowledge and what is going on in the markets. If the next Insight will still be online, prepare for it being harder to network but do not let the higher difficulty stop you from doing is altogether.
