Siew tells us about her experience of attending Women in investment banking!
Name: Siew Sanz Ng
University: University of Oxford
Course: Philosophy, Politics, and Economics
Being a PPE undergraduate, my insights into the global
finance industry were rather limited. What helped strengthen my knowledge base
and connected me to different experts in the industry were Women in Investment
banking. Apart from busting intimidating jargons, the event helped me to
understand the differences between areas such as merger & acquisition,
asset financing, sales & trading, asset wealth management etc., which area
falls into the public or private side and how these different areas interact with
one another. The event also equipped me with the tools and resources to find
out more about each area specifically.
More importantly, I was interacting with key financial
experts, allowing me to gain personal insights into the industry – what
attracted them and what exasperated them. This helped me to better understand
how my skills and personality will fit into the sector and eventually helped me
to make the right decision on which division to apply. Furthermore, speaking to
them definitely boosted my confidence in the interviewing process because I was
able to draw on the insights on individuals who knew the industry inside out.
Hence, this is why you should apply for Women in
Investment Banking. Not only will you get the opportunity to deepen your formal
and informal understanding about the industry, you get to build sustainable
relationships with both the experts and other attendees of the event. I still
keep in touch with them and received support from them throughout my internship
application process. If I had not attended this event, I would not have found
out about the Deutsche Regional Internship Opportunity and would not have
eventually received an internship offer from Deutsche Bank.
Our next event is on 6 November 2015. Apply now!
