    Overview

  • 1. Please give an overview of the insight and what was involved on a day-to-day basis.
  • There were talks from Citi employees across different divisions, and then markets specific talks. I had the opportunity to shadow the metals desk (so far), which was really interesting to gain an insight of. There was an AmplifyMe trading simulation which was a really good opportunity, especially as I'd never done anything like it before. Joseph, who ran this course, did such a great job at running it's and helping me when I was quite confused.


    Skills

  • 2. Have you learnt any new skills or developed existing skills?
  • I've learned much more about the operations of a bank, what working in markets looks like, what working at Citi looks like. I've learned more key financial terms, I've improved my networking.

    Business Insight

  • 3. What was it like understanding all about the business and potential roles available?
  • It was really good. The talks from different divisions, and then especially the introduction to products with employees from all different products was really useful. I came in with not much knowledge, and feel much more confident now

    Culture

  • 4. What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
  • I really liked it. It was a very welcoming environment, and was shocked by how willing to help everyone was. My buddy, [This section of the comment has been removed by a member of the RateMyPlacement Team because it did not meet our site terms and conditions], went out of her way to talk to me for a few hours, and then to take me to her desk. Those I shadowed on the metals team took time to answer all my questions and be available during the whole 3 hours. The attitude was the same from the early careers team. It was all very welcoming.
