    • 4/5
  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    • I highly recommend the immersion program, rather than a normal spring insight program, as it gave me a REAL overview of what it is like to work within the bank on a day to day basis, which is something I never had had the chance too see or experience before.

  • 15. Would you recommend this insight to a friend?

    • I would highly recommend this program to any friend interested in Investment Banking. Knowing a little bit about finance and IB makes it even more enjoyable. This program has a true added value as it enable to get a real insight of what it is like to work at a bank and to work there. The teams are great, people are easily approachable and friendly. Great atmosphere. The program is very well structured and organised with presentations and networking events regularly along the week.
