    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I really enjoy the insight. The structure of the insight is excellent. We have 2 days of technical training including presentations and stimulations to help us understand more about the job. Then we have 2 days of work shadowing in which I experience the real working environment in market division. I have worked shadow with people in trading structuring and capital market. This is an amazing experience as I learned about the technical knowledge as well as the typical day of their jobs.
