4.7

I liked that it walked me through actually thinking like a banker, evaluating DSCR, cash flow trends, and credit utilization, instead of just handing me definitions. Seeing my own read on the numbers differ from the sample response was a good challenge and helped me build a stronger final recommendation.

I liked that the simulation made me think like a real Commercial Banking team member by analyzing client needs, financial health, and risk. Reviewing The client firm's cash flow growth and DSCR improvement revenue growth made the work feel practical. It increased my interest in Wells Fargo and showed me how I can apply skills from my past internships to the firm.
