Reviews
The simulation offers an overarching view on how to properly assess a company's capacity to remain in covenant compliance and repay loans, but it goes even further by digging into market analysis. Most investment Banking simulation only focus on M&A. I'm glad I had the chance to experience other critical tasks banks perform on a daily basis.
As a data analyst, it helped me with my research skills and the ability to improve on how to prepare quick, very brief reports. I enjoyed this aspect of the internship. Though I didn't do well in task 5 due to not having a solid foundation on account and financial analysis but I'm eager to learn and address this gap
