Experience Prior To The Program
Taking finance courses within my major’s curriculum. I joined the program because it struck me as an excellent opportunity to experience what the work of a financial analyst is like. My goals were to develop useful technical and soft-skills beyond the conceptual understanding of finance principles.
Training Experience
The most valuable aspect of the training is the accuracy and applicability of it later on, during the internship. It helped me develop the technical skills necessary for anyone looking to embark on a career in finance, investment banking, etc.
Every project of the internship included a different set of complex problems to be analyzed. That forced me to think out of the box and develop a better understanding of market forces. The training proved to be extremely useful during the internship as it equipped me with a skillset that I used in every project.
