Overview
I participate in the annual review of the financial models that are used by the bank for equities trading. This involves understanding the model, documenting model changes and reviewing its assumptions. I also do some testing to make sure the model performs as expected.
Skills
I am enhancing my financial mathematics and derivatives skills by reading new materials, and learning new skills such as coding.
Responsibilities
Yes, since I participated in projects that are vital for the team, and worked on documents that are quite sensible
Support & Guidance
I received lots of support from HR, with lots of training and weekly sessions being scheduled, and my line manager and team were very supportive as well.
Culture
There is a great culture, people are happy and there is an amazing work-life balance for a job in finance
