Our More Able Students Visit Bank of America Merrill Lynch

Last week, fifteen budding female economists took a trip to the Bank of America Merrill Lynch offices in St Paul’s. The girls got an insight into investment banking and had the opportunity to ask the volunteers questions about their career paths. They particularly enjoyed the exclusive tour of the trading floor!

The event consisted of a short talk given by some female junior analysts on the different jobs that exist at the bank, what it’s like to work there and what the roles of the Chief Financial Officers are. This was followed by a fun trading game session where students had an insight of what happens on the trading floor. Students then had the opportunity to interview a wide range of volunteers from the bank. This was an excellent opportunity for the girls to get a real insight into the world of work generally and the whole range of jobs that exist in a big organisation like Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
