    About You

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

    • Best feature about this insight week was the depth it went into for GFA/advisory side of IB. If you're sure you want to do advisory banking as opposed to sales and trading this is probably the best Spring Week. It is also a good insight week to do if you want to decide between the two sides of IB.

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

    • Did focus on investment banking quite heavily but also gave lessons on how to do business presentations and how to do 'character-building'.
