The tasks provided a realistic glimpse into the daily work of a Global Markets Trading team member. I appreciated the opportunity to prepare a weekly market view and analyze the impact of economic events on trading activities. The content was well-structured, and the pre-recorded videos were informative. They helped me understand how professional traders research and review current events.

I like how we conduct our research and the template really helping us in drafting what do we need to understand and comprehend for each article. The final is really interesting as well as we are doing our own analysis for our portfolio. And with all the notes given, I can learn and understand a lot of new things that are vital in conducting the analysis. Overall, it is a great course! I love it!

No one is perfect and practical skills are also important. This Job Sim helped me to develop the real way how the research is conducted, Events are analysed and communicated. I did some slight mistakes, but the answer key given after every task helped me to understand the areas where i can improve. Thank You!
