    • We had the opportunity to join many networking event and have training with every dataprovider used by each of the two teams I joined.

    • No clubs in Canary Wharf, but to be honest all you need is bars. If you need to go out longer better you move city center

    • Great mid-summer event. Many networking events organised by HR
