The simulation was highly practical and immersive. I liked that it gave me hands-on experience in pitching trades, analyzing risk, and selecting hedges, which made the work feel realistic and engaging. The step-by-step tasks helped me understand how a rates desk operates and how client trades are managed.

I liked how realistic the scenarios felt, especially the interaction between the auditor and client. It helped me understand how small phrasing choices can impact the quality of information gathered. The step-by-step format made it easy to reflect on mistakes and learn best practices in a practical way rather than just theory.

I liked that the simulation brought theory to life, letting me see how swaps and futures behave under different market conditions. It was valuable to analyze risk, inflation sensitivity, and hedging decisions while deciding which exposures to keep or offset. I also appreciated the chance to practice explaining complex trades clearly, linking numbers to strategy in a realistic way
