    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • Really enjoyed the experience. Very informative day, got to speak to people working inside the industry and gain a real insight into the company culture. Very interesting overall.

    4/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I did feel a bit like a stranger but perhaps only because I was there for a couple of hours! I felt like the professionals didn't really approach me even though I was trying my best to interact with some of them. Unfortunately a bit of a cold welcome. However, the venue was great and the food was good.

    2/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • Guidance was very good. I learnt a lot about office politics. However given that I was there only for a day, I didn't really feel supported. However, I believe that this would change if I was there for longer.

    3/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • Very enriching experience! I got to see whether banking was indeed for me and I feel I know more about what I want from my career
