    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • Insight Week was split into virtual and in-house sessions. The virtual sessions were held over Zoom and once/if successful one gets invited to the in-house sessions. Overall, the experience was very enriching. It enables one the chance to delve into the company, its culture, and engage in amazing networking opportunities. Here, I also learned so much about Bloomberg’s products, specifically targeting the buy-side and sell-side.
