I really appreciated how realistic and well-structured the tasks were, breaking down core banking concepts and client interactions into clear, practical scenarios. It provided a great hands-on perspective of how banks evaluate financial risk, structure credit facilities, and support client growth on a day-to-day level.

I enjoyed the practical and quantitative nature of the simulation. The opportunity to apply pricing models, derivatives, hedging strategies, and market, credit, and operational risk concepts to coffee futures made the experience engaging and realistic. I particularly appreciated how the tasks connected quantitative analysis with real business and client scenarios.

I liked how the simulation applied real Citi Markets concepts to coffee commodities. The step-by-step tasks on pricing futures using cost of carry model, using Monte Carlo for structured notes, and risk management analysis were very practical. It helped me understand how quantitative models are used in investment banking. The templates made it easy to organize my work like a real analyst.
