I was excited to gain insight into the real work of a Weil, Gotshal & Manges trainee. Delving from macro-economic context into the micro legal analysis of NDA clause carve-outs, building full transaction structure charts and applying specific statutory provisions to determine legal status of companies -- felt less of a chore and more of a chess game.

I liked the structure of the program. Following the same company throughout the program made me feel as though I was participating in a real case, leaning into the idea of what work may look like in the firm. It gave me an idea of how multi-layered a single case can be, from financing to restructuring etc.

This job simulation sets itself apart from the other ones. Not only I learned something new, I now know exactly the kind of work undertaken by Private Equity and Finance. I am aware that Corporate and Finance are 2 compulsory seats for every trainee and I would definitely feel confident in picking banking and finance post this simulation.
