The Role
I learnt a lot, very insightful and everyone was very helpful
The Company
the trading floor was very busy and exciting
Currencies was more organised than Fixed Income but there were structured rotations which was good
bloomberg training as well as technical training during induction - it was relatively helpful
would definitely work here
The Culture
the other interns were great and the grads were also very nice and sociable - it was also good getting to know the desk in a less formal environment which happened often
it was very expensive but we made it work
it was great, we did lots of socialising
not that many that I was aware of
