    Your Impressions

  • 5. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I really enjoyed it, keeping your camera on for 8 hours of the day can be a bit taxing but does keep you accountable. The sheer number of questions others in the insight asked was a bit overwhelming at times, and it felt as if people were asking for the sake of being seen to ask instead of genuinely wanting to know the answer, but I think this is typical of any insight

  • 8. What tips or advice would you give to others applying to Bloomberg
  • Be honest with your skills and knowledge, be sure to keep track of the application as there are lots of parts to it and tests need to be completed quite quickly. Give your best effort in the interview as they will give you good feedback on the interview, even if it is not successful it is likely that you will learn from it and they will tell you where you went wrong
