    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I discovered the company from a new angle, both in terms of the different divisions and all the Rothschild initiatives (philanthropy, diversity & inclusion, training programmes). I also met some inspiring people who really made me want to work at Rothschild and who advised me on the next steps in my career. It was also an opportunity to get a real feel for what is expected when you work in investment banking. Finally, I really developed my ability to work in a group as part of the final project.
