    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?

    • I really enjoyed my time at the BAML Spring Week. Prior to my Spring week, I already had some knowledge of the industry, but the Spring gave me the whole picture by giving me the opportunity to meet with all departments.

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?

    • Well don't expect that every employee will know your name within a week. That is totally normal and understandable. But good thing is that we have time to give presentations and take part in some games, so we do not feel to passive.

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?

    • Good support.

    5/5
  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?

    • As said, I will benefit from the overview of the industry I was given. I think to some extent it also developed my networking skills.
