    About You

    • We were given presentations on each area of GFA from bankers from the relevant area then given the opportunity to shadow analysts in the various areas.

    5/5
  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • Given the nature of the firm, it has a very boutique firm work culture but still operates much like a large bank. Everyone was very helpful and were given numerous opportunities to network with Directors.

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • There was always at least one member of the HR team with the group and all the bankers were more than happy to answer questions and help where they can.

    5/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • There is crossover between Economics and GFA therefore I feel I have an insight to things which other students may not and this gives me a different perspective on certain issues.

    4/5
