Overview
We attended interactive workshops on technical topics like financial markets, coding, and machine learning, as well as talks by G-Research employees covering NLP and life at G-Research. There were also fun networking dinners and social events to get to know the other participants, such as mountain biking, cooking classes, and a cruise.
Skills
For technical skills, we built a Transformer model from scratch in the ML workshop and practiced coding and market-making skills in other exercises. We also developed networking skills from talking to G-Research employees and participants, who all had such interesting backgrounds and research interests.
Business Insight
I learned a lot about the kind of work they do! G-Research did a great job of showcasing these through a variety of session styles, from personal chats to large group talks.
Culture
The company culture seemed extremely open and entrepreneurial. Everyone seemed like an expert in their field and shared interesting insights into their work.
