I enjoyed working on realistic commercial banking scenarios that required analysing transaction data, creating visual dashboards, and presenting recommendations to senior leadership. The simulation provided practical experience with Excel, data visualisation, business analysis, and presentation skills, making it feel similar to real workplace tasks.

simulation offered a practical, real-world case study on commercial card financial modeling and strategic analysis. Working through data aggregation, competitor benchmarking, dynamic fee modeling, and translating technical insights into executive-ready presentation materials closely mirrored actual corporate finance and banking workflows.

As I'm a data enthusiast, I love playing with data and generating insights. I am impressed by its managing business insights and I like the structure of the tasks designed in a way that someone like me who is quite interested in exploring more that how someone works at Citi company would be a great start.
