    Your Impressions

  • 5. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I thoroughly enjoyed the insight programme. At times it was quite full-on and some of the activities, for example, the trading simulations, were a little stressful but that is just an accurate representation of the industry and I still really enjoyed the experience. All of the talks were incredibly interesting and I really enjoyed making connections with a lot of other interns too.
