    About You

  • 1. To what extent did you enjoy the insight?
  • I enjoyed it a lot, especially as I learnt so much about the financial services industry and am now more informed on my career choice. The only thing I did not enjoy was the commute every morning and evening which was exhausting, but I can say I got the full experience.

    5/5

  • 2. To what extent did you feel valued during your time at the company or firm?
  • I feel I was treated maturely throughout the week. It was good to be able to meet so many senior people too.

    5/5

  • 3. How much guidance/support did you receive during the insight?
  • There was a lot. We could ask questions all the time which was really good, and there were activities that helped with presentation skills.

    5/5

  • 4. To what extent did/will the skills you developed, and information you received, assist you in your degree studies and beyond?
  • The information has helped to clarify not only what division of a bank I would want to work for, but also a few other things with university too; it has helped me focus on some subjects and also choose what options I would like to take next year.

    5/5

    The Company

  • 5. How well structured was the insight?
  • It was very well structured; there was a lot of team work and that was fun. I also liked how the teams were mixed up since you got to meet lots of other people. There was also a lot of information prepared for us that was printed out in the booklet.

    5/5

    5/5

  • 8. To what extent did the insight help you to understand what it would be like to have a full time role with the company or firm?

    4/5
