I liked how the tasks moved from foundational knowledge into real applied analysis. Building the SMG credit workbook and having to form my own view of Adjusted EBITDA, rather than just accepting management's number, was the standout. The Private Credit Deal Triage exercise was also great, comparing two companies with no single "correct" answer taught real judgment.

I enjoyed the simulation because it provided a realistic view of workplace tasks and business decision-making. It allowed me to apply my analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills in practical scenarios while gaining insight into how professionals work in a corporate environment. It was an engaging and valuable learning experience."

I loved how realistically the simulation mirrored the day-to-day responsibilities of a Fixed Income analyst. The tasks were intellectually challenging but highly structured, which bridge the gap between academic theory and real-world market analysis. It truly gave me a clear, exciting look into PGIM's culture and workflow."
