    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • It was a 4-days long programme. The first day was an introduction to Rothschild & Co as well as an "introduction to investment banking" session. The following days consisted of more specific talks from the different teams at the firm as well as networking sessions, online social events and workshops. Throughout the programme a case study was done which was presented on the last day.
