    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • An array of product and team discussions, providing an insight into Rothschild & Co as a firm. Over the course of the week, participants are given numerous opportunities to interact with HR, junior and senior bankers. The week ended with an M+A group case study presentation based on skills and content developed over the course of the program.
