    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Sat in Capital Markets - very involved principal and trainee buddy who gave me lots of capital markets training coming from an anthropology background. Very good quality of training and internal learning resources. Partners, Counsel and MAs - all extremely approachable. Very friendly culture and trainee recruitment willing to make many reasonable adjustments for neurodiversity if that is a consideration for you.
