The Role
got exactly the product rotations I was looking for
depended a lot on the desk, and as always on colleagues. great second rotation in that regard, rather average on the first
varied from week to week, when more time was available I used it for rotations with other colleagues
theoretical and practical knowledge can not be compared at all, hence super important go gain as much trading floor experience as possible, which was definitely the case for me
The Company
great atmosphere on some desks, rather depressive on others.
Company Parties/Events
The Culture
definitely good atmosphere amongst fellow placement students and colleagues
definitely not cheap as chips, however as expected
great area to go out around Liverpool Street, way better than Canary Wharf
