Were there any assumptions you had about the graduate programmes prior to joining, and what was the reality?

Hi Egzon, as I'm sure is similar for you, you expect working in a bank to be very high pressure and numerically-orientated, but it's really not stressful like you'd expect! And of course being on a grad scheme I expected to be given jobs which nobody else really wants to do, but in truth you're actually given a good level of responsibility, and well supported within your role!

Hi Rhys! Thank you for your answer! How would you describe Risk Management? What do you particularly enjoy in your job?

Thanks Rhys for your answer.

Hi Franci, there's lots to say about Risk Management, I hardly know where to start!! I think Risk Management is super important because it plays a central part in keeping the group and our customers safe, so it's a role I'm proud to play a part of. One area I particularly enjoy is the varied work I do, as there's so much on and we do placements across various risk types so get to learn so much, which i'm sure will be very valuable in my career.

Thank you very much Rhys!
