    Your Impressions

  • 6. To what extent did you enjoy your placement / internship?

    • Best decision I made! It taught me a lot about what to expect from HR and the workplace. Although it was tough at times, I think it helped me come out of my shell. I was initially worried about having high levels of responsibility (warned about this in the interview), I'm glad that that was the case as I feel as though it's a big part of why I'm more confident now.

  • 7. Would you recommend G-Research to a friend?

    • Yes

  • 8. What advice would you give to others applying to G-Research

    • Make sure to do your research on the company & read up on crypto, big data, AI, machine learning, python, etc. These are all things that you'll need a basic level of understanding in, particularly if you join a team like recruitment that interacts with quant researchers regularly (also helps so you're not completely clueless during all-hands catch ups). It's quite a fast-pace environment so make sure to take breathers when you can!
