    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Each day we had a different speaker from a particular division of the firm come speak to us and give us and introduction to their side. In addition, we had 3 sessions with Amplify Trading which were really fun and got to learn a lot from them. Not only that, we had a fun social at the end of the first day to get to know others in the spring more and have fun!
