I liked how the simulation provided realistic insights into the work carried out at Lloyds Banking Group, particularly in areas such as business banking, risk assessment, and financial decision-making.

I liked that the simulation showed how broad commercial banking is. It was not just about lending, but also about understanding clients, recommending suitable solutions, managing risk, and thinking strategically about product and digital development. That made the experience feel more realistic and helped me see how different parts of the role connect in practice.
