What did the previous interns say?

• The internship within the Market Risk Trading Book team gave me the opportunity to experience how risk, trading, and data come together in practice. What I appreciated most was the level of responsibility and trust given to interns from the start, combined with the willingness of colleagues to continuously share their knowledge and support my development. You truly walk out of the dealing room with practical knowledge and significant personal growth. The team’s combination of technical expertise, collaboration, and strong market understanding made this an especially valuable learning experience. I would highly recommend this internship to anyone interested in financial markets and risk management, and who is ambitious and hardworking.
