    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the virtual experience?

    • Being involved in the EMEA Next Generation Diversity Symposium was very insightful and a valuable experience. In particular I really involved hearing about the day in the life of an analyst. It provided me with more knowledge about what it was like working at Jefferies and how much trust analysts in the company are given. I also really enjoyed hearing about how the firm are tackling inequality within the work place, and was very impressed by the measures the firm are taking.
