First Week at Work

Last week I had 3 days of work, and 2 days of class. I like the team I am working with, and everyone else has been very welcoming as well. They let me spend a morning at a few FX desks on the trading floor, and another morning with the transition management team. I learned a ton about both areas, and have been writing notes during the day so that I may more easily write my portfolio diary for the final project. After work on Monday, I met with some 85 Broads members who ironically were mostly from the US. We met at the George Pub by the Liverpool station near RBS. Some were nicer than others, but overall it was a good experience. The next day was a FX intern's 21st birthday and so a bunch of us went to Prohibition to celebrate. I was there until 8:30pm and met some other interns, a transfer from Sydney, and some more senior employees. I'm really excited to continue working there, and this upcoming Wednesday I will be back at transition management for a bit. One guy in my team showed me around the building and introduced me to a lot of people, a few of whom were interested in letting me shadow them in their roles. We will see how it goes..
