Overview
A typical day entailed interactions with investment bankers through departments and the hierarchy. I would typically work on pitch decks, understanding companies and shadowing client calls. It was an opportunity to improve my technical and soft skills.
Skills
I was able to improve my professionalism while being approachable and empathetic. Further, this opportunity improved my ability to use Powerpoint and Excel, as many roles require. I understood how technology is integrated into investment banking and hope to refine my skills for the same in the future.
Business Insight
Understanding each division truly gave me insight into understanding my preferences for my career. I learned new perspectives, and generally speaking with these motivated individuals inspired me.
Culture
It was highly encouraging and motivating. People guided us through each stop of the process and it was a truly enlightening experience. The company culture makes the teams work as one unit, always looking to grow together.
Your Impressions
It was a highly enriching experience that has created my foundation for investment banking and I look forward to pursuing this career and lifestyle in the future.
Yes
I would tell them to be themselves because Nomura looks for people with an individual mindset who are willing to work in teams. I would also encourage them to review Nomura deals and the podcast to gauge a preview of their experience.
