    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Gained an insight into the operations of the firm, looking at Global Advisory, Merchant Banking and Wealth Management. Had the opportunity to network with professional bankers including both juniors and seniors and completed work shadowing which provided a real insight into the role of a junior banker. Finally, alongside the programme we completed a project looking at a potential M&A opportunity and presented our findings to senior bankers.
