    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I enjoyed the way Bank of America adapted the Spring Insight process facing this exceptional context. Having access to all the divisions gave me a better understanding of Bank of America. I was able to interact with Bank of America speakers on many occasions (case studies, Q&A sessions,). The speakers were able to share with us their vision of Bank of America, through the knowledge of their divisions, their background and their experiences in associations as volunteers. Setting up business cases, especially in M&A, was fluent and very inspiring. I also greatly appreciated the Analyst Panel where Kate Eggers superbly coordinated all the speakers, which enabled me to better compare the divisions. The Spring Insight confirmed my willingness to work and learn with the Investment Banking teams during the Summer Internship 2021.
