    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Because the internship was online, a typical day would entail video presentations about the different divisions in the bank, break out rooms to get to know employees, and debates about current topics. At the end of the week I got to interview for a place in the 2022 summer internship.
