    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.

    • 5 days, 9-5 everyday with some breaks in between. Mostly listening to presentations on what you would need to know to work in analysis and sales/global data. Also some interactive activities involving an escape room, chat with customers simulation, public speaking. As well as working on a group presentation throughout the week. Also got access to a really great online market concepts course.
